INSIGHT 01Fact

51%

51% of applications are in Digital communication

1,421 applications in this field, 839 of them in IPC H04L (Digital transmission) — the main axis of the portfolio.

Method: Field applications ÷ applications with IPC

INSIGHT 02Fact

Utility models are 2%

55 utility models and 2,679 inventions. Structural and tooling improvements are often protected faster as utility models.

Method: Utility model documents ÷ all documents

02Technology landscape

2,761 applications with IPC codes are mapped to 35 fields using the WIPO IPC–Technology Concordance; area is the number of applications. Select a tile to see its IPC subclasses. An application can belong to several fields.

Electrical engineering

Mechanical engineering

03Rhythm

Publications per month in each field; brighter cells mean more. It shows which directions surge in particular months.

This chart covers collected documents published from 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31. Examination and publication processes affect this timing; it does not directly measure R&D investment in the same period.

Cells count publications only within the collected names and dates. Missing periods are not shown; the company portfolio is incomplete.

Filing years of the collected applications

Documents in the current publication window are deduplicated by application number and grouped by filing year. These are not the company's complete annual filings; older applications may only be published or granted within this window.

202016
202136
2022111
2023169
20241,179
20251,234Publication lag may still apply

Invention applications are generally published about 18 months after filing, or priority where claimed, and may be published earlier. Flags are estimated as of 2026-10-29. An unflagged year is still not necessarily complete; these counts cannot establish growth or contraction in R&D.

Multi-year evolution · With a longer collection window, this becomes a yearly view that marks the fastest-growing and shrinking fields.
