Company patents
Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. surprisingly shows a strong and growing focus on communication technologies, with Antennas and Wireless Networks together constituting over 57% of its patent portfolio. While Antennas saw a significant 60.0% increase in 2025, its patenting activity, along with Wireless Networks, appears to be shifting, with both categories experiencing substantial year-over-year declines of -79.2% and -66.7% respectively so far in 2026, indicating a potential re-prioritization or maturation of these core areas.
