Company patents
Wing Aviation LLC
Wing Aviation LLC's patent strategy is surprisingly diversified beyond core aerospace, with a significant 36.9% of its portfolio in Industrial & Autonomous Control, showing consistent growth in 2024 (+26.1%) and 2025 (+10.3%). While core categories like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (57.2% of portfolio) and Aircraft & Aerodynamics (44.6%) saw substantial patenting activity in 2024, the rapid emergence of Computer Vision (+83.3% YoY in 2025) and Image Processing (+225.0% YoY in 2024) highlights a strong, growing focus on advanced sensing and perception technologies, even as patenting activity across most categories shows a decline so far in 2026.
