INSIGHT 01Fact

78%

78% of applications are in Telecommunications

50 applications in this field, 30 of them in IPC H01Q (Antennas) — the main axis of the portfolio.

Method: Field applications ÷ applications with IPC

02Technology landscape

64 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
Instruments
Chemistry
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.

20202
20213
20227
202317
202419
202523Publication 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.

09Method 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.

Entity scope

These statistics use only the applicant names and publication dates collected for this snapshot. They do not represent the full company or group portfolio.

Search jurisdictions: Worldwide
Applicant-name basis: Dataset-harmonized assignees (not verified current owners)
