Introduction

<\/strong>Patent assertions have increasingly become more than just a legal defense strategy\u2014they are now key tools in shaping competition, influencing R&D investments, and driving revenue through licensing. The rise of Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs) has added new dynamics to the landscape, impacting industries ranging from networking to EVs. This article explores key patent assertion trends from 2021-2024 and offers insights on how these legal strategies are transforming industries and competitive dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have analyzed litigation cases filed in the US over the past five years across the following eight technology domains. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
