Company patents
Strong Force IoT Portfolio 2016, LLC
Strong Force IoT Portfolio 2016, LLC's patent strategy shows a primary focus on Industrial Control Systems, comprising 77.9% of its portfolio, despite a significant -56.2% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026. While most categories experienced a sharp drop in 2024, followed by a strong rebound in 2025 (e.g., Machine Learning & AI grew by +133.3% YoY), the complete cessation of patenting in Routing, Switching & QoS in 2026 (YoY -100.0%) suggests a clear shift away from this area.
