Company patents

TEKTRONIX, INC.

Tektronix, Inc. maintains a strong focus on its core "Electrical Measurement" category, which accounts for 68.6% of its portfolio, despite a notable 11.3% decline in patent grants in 2025. Surprisingly, while "System Reliability & Diagnostics" showed rapid growth of 75.0% in 2024, the company's patenting activity in several computing and communications categories, including "Machine Learning & AI" and "Coding & Decoding," appears to be shifting, with significant year-over-year declines in 2025 and so far in 2026.
