Company patents

Zuora, Inc.

Zuora, Inc. demonstrates a patent strategy heavily focused on core infrastructure, with Databases & Information Retrieval (49.2% of portfolio) and Business Methods & Fintech (46.0%) dominating, yet both show significant year-over-year fluctuations, including a -58.3% and -50.0% decline respectively so far in 2026. While Machine Learning & AI saw a 200.0% growth in 2024, its subsequent decline suggests a shifting priority away from rapid expansion in this area, contrasting with the strong rebound in Databases & Information Retrieval in 2025 (YoY +300.0%).

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING CUSTOM OBJECTS FOR A MULTI-TENANT PLATFORM WITH MICROSERVICES ARCHITECTURE

Filed:2025-05-13Pub:2025-10-30
Applicant:Zuora, Inc.

A multi-tenant system, comprises a main storage system including: a monolithic database storing global records associated with global objects, each global object including global fields common for all tenants; a monolithic application configured to process a particular global record storage request by instructing the monolithic database to store particular global field values of the particular global record for a particular tenant, and to process a particular global record fetch request by instructing the monolithic database to retrieve the one or more particular global field values; a custom object storage system including: a custom object database configured to store custom records associated with one or more custom objects, each custom object including one or more custom fields for a tenant; a custom object record service configured to process a particular custom record storage request by instructing the custom object database to store one or more particular custom field values for the tenant, and to process a particular custom record fetch request by instructing the custom object database to retrieve the one or more particular custom field values; and a query engine configured to receive a query, fetch relevant global records from the monolithic database, fetch relevant custom records from the custom object database, and generate a query response.
