Company patents
The MathWorks, Inc.
The MathWorks, Inc. demonstrates a patent strategy focused heavily on core computing technologies, with Software Development & Compilers representing 40.0% of its portfolio, though patenting in this area saw a significant decline of 75.0% in 2024 and a further 66.7% decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite their strong software foundation, categories like Machine Learning & AI and Natural Language Processing show only minor activity, with 3 and 2 patents respectively, and inconsistent yearly trends, suggesting these advanced computing areas are not yet a primary focus for patent protection.
