New Big Tech Patents,
Explained in Plain English
Patentlyze tracks newly published patent applications and grants from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI, Samsung, and other major technology companies.
We verify the USPTO record and explain what each invention could mean, without the legalese or hype.
This Week's Big Tech Patent Trends
Patentlyze covered 284 notable Big Tech patent filings from this week’s USPTO release. Samsung led our coverage with 48, ahead of Google (45), Qualcomm (33), and Apple (31). AI / ML (106) and Hardware (73) were the biggest categories.
The standouts: Apple files a patent for a display that watches your eyes and scrolls automatically when you finish reading, Sony patents a way to pipe audio through idle controllers sitting around the room, and Disney files for a system that floats a real 3D image in open air that a crowd can watch together without headsets.

Big Tech Patents By Type
33 categoriesWhat is Patentlyze
Patentlyze is the plain-English breakdown of Big Tech patent filings – only the useful ones. Every major tech company publishes new patent applications and grants every month at the USPTO. Most are overlooked. We read each one and explain what it actually does – in language a non-lawyer non-engineer can follow.
Patents are the most reliable leak in tech. Before a product ships, before an executive drops a hint, the engineering team writes down what they’re building in legal language. Here’s how to read what they wrote. The trick is finding the few that matter. Patentlyze does that work for you, across the largest tech companies in the world.
We got tired of going through hundreds of boring Big Tech patents looking for the ones that actually matter. So we built Patentlyze. All published patents →
