Company patents

ZenPayroll, Inc.

ZenPayroll, Inc. demonstrates a strong focus on foundational computing technologies, with Databases & Information Retrieval comprising 59.8% of its portfolio and Machine Learning & AI at 41.5%, both showing significant growth in 2024 (137.5% and 50.0% YoY respectively). While Business Methods & Fintech also represents a substantial 40.2% of its portfolio, the sharp decline in patenting activity across most categories so far in 2026, including a 100.0% drop in Business Methods & Fintech and Input/Output & User Interfaces, suggests a potential shift in patenting strategy or a slowdown in new filings for the current partial year.
