Company patents

WINKK, INC

WINKK, INC's patent strategy appears to be undergoing a significant shift, with a notable decline in filings across its core security categories in 2025 and so far in 2026, despite strong growth in 2024 (e.g., Cryptographic Mechanisms grew +41.2% YoY in 2024, Network Security & Access Control grew +75.0% YoY in 2024). While Cryptographic Mechanisms still represents a dominant 66.2% of its portfolio, the sharp drop in new patents suggests a potential reprioritization away from these historically strong areas.
