Company patents

Zhejiang Normal University

Zhejiang Normal University exhibits a surprising, broad patent strategy, with its top two categories, Computer Vision and Material & Chemical Analysis, each representing 12.9% of its portfolio. While Material & Chemical Analysis saw a remarkable 500.0% YoY growth in 2025, its sharp decline of 83.3% so far in 2026 suggests a shifting focus, contrasting with the consistent growth in Computer Vision, which experienced a 200.0% YoY increase in 2026.
