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.

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.
