Woburn, MA - January 12, 2022 - Kaspersky has been named number-one among companies with Russian origins patented in the United States in 2021 by IFI Claims Direct.

Kaspersky is constantly developing and patenting new cybersecurity technologies, proving its leadership in the industry.

Throughout its history the company has received 412 patents in the US alone with more than 1,200 patents around the world, including Russia, EU, China and Japan.

US patent data shows that last year patent grants declined by 7% overall. The only area that saw patent growth was ‘computer systems based on specific computational models’, which includes machine learning – a key focus area for Kaspersky. According to the IFI ranking, Kaspersky’s main patented technology areas over the last two years include network architectures or network communication protocols for network security and computer systems based on specific computational models.
