  1. 01FactChip dataflows and vehicle perception are distinct computing settingsThe accelerator snippet describes tiled chips and memory structures, while the vehicle snippet concerns tracking paths from live sensing. Both involve neural networks, but shared hardware or product adoption is not established.
  2. 02FactThe cooling example focuses on rack-scale storage and fluid deliveryThe cooling snippet connects a rack-form-factor reservoir with cold plates or immersion-cooled servers. Full fluid paths, operating parameters and energy savings require further evidence.

INSIGHT 01Fact

79%

79% of applications are in Computer technology

1,858 applications in this field, 881 of them in IPC G06F (Data processing) — the main axis of the portfolio.

Method: Field applications ÷ applications with IPC

02Technology landscape

2,342 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.

  • Instruments
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Other fields

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.

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.

Review evidence

Relationship dates help interpret renaming, acquisitions and joint ventures. Missing dates do not establish an indefinite relationship or verify the current patent owner.

07Observations

Written by editors after reading the patent texts and company materials. Verified facts and inferences are labeled, each with evidence and limits.

Technology themes and evidence

Select a theme to filter reviewed patents and observations that cite them. Counts are editorial samples only; one patent may belong to several themes. They do not describe the full portfolio distribution.

Themes describe the technical directions in these samples. Links to adoption in specific products, commercialization or commercial value have not been established.

10Method and sources

Counting units

Publications are deduplicated by publication number; applications by application number, so a publication and its grant count once; families by the source family ID. Technology fields are derived automatically from IPC codes using the WIPO IPC–Technology Concordance (March 2026), without manual or AI labeling.

Publication or grant documents do not establish current rights. Check legal status and current owners with the relevant patent office.
