Company patents

The MITRE Corporation

The MITRE Corporation's patent strategy reveals a surprising balance between established communication technologies and emerging computing fields, with Network Security & Access Control and Machine Learning & AI each representing 12.3% of its 211-patent portfolio. While there was a significant surge in Antennas patents in 2024 with a +600.0% YoY growth, indicating a past emerging focus, the current year (so far in 2026) shows a broad decline across most categories, including a -100.0% drop in Databases & Information Retrieval, suggesting a potential shift in priorities or a natural dip in a partial year's data.
