Company patents
Trend Micro Incorporated
Trend Micro Incorporated's patent strategy shows a surprising volatility, particularly in emerging areas like Machine Learning & AI, which saw a dramatic 200.0% growth in 2025 after an 80.0% decline in 2024, only to drop by 100.0% so far in 2026. While core areas like Network Security & Access Control (50.0% of portfolio) and Computer Security (46.6% of portfolio) remain dominant, their patenting activity also fluctuates significantly year-over-year, indicating a dynamic and perhaps reactive approach rather than a steady, long-term build-up in any single domain.
