Company patents

Sun Yat-sen University

SUN YAT-SEN UNIVERSITY's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core pharma_biotech categories, with "Pharmaceutical Preparations" declining by 41.7% in 2025 and "Therapeutic Activity (Pharma)" by 58.3% in the same year. Concurrently, there's an emerging focus on "Electronic Design Automation (CAD/EDA)" within computing, which saw a remarkable 300.0% year-over-year growth in 2026 (so far in 2026), indicating a strategic pivot towards hardware and software design.
