Company patents

UiPath, Inc.

UiPath Inc's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift, with a significant 114.3% year-over-year growth in Natural Language Processing patents in 2025, indicating an emerging focus beyond its core Operating Systems & Program Control (39.9% of portfolio) and Machine Learning & AI (30.7% of portfolio) areas, which have seen declines in recent years. While the company maintains a strong presence in computing, the substantial patent activity in Industrial Control Systems (26.8% of portfolio) and Manipulators & Robotics (14.1% of portfolio) highlights an unexpected emphasis on manufacturing automation, despite a -38.9% YoY decline in Manipulators & Robotics in 2024.
