Company patents
Electronic Arts Inc.
Electronic Arts Inc. demonstrates a clear focus on its core "Games & Gaming" sector, which constitutes 67.9% of its patent portfolio, though patenting in this area saw a significant decline of 39.6% in 2025. Surprisingly, despite its gaming focus, the company showed an emerging interest in "Speech Processing" with a 75.0% YoY growth in 2025, indicating a potential shift towards more interactive and voice-controlled gaming experiences, even as overall patenting activity appears to be slowing down across most categories so far in 2026.
