Connected ASHP Security Patent Snapshot 2026
The patent evidence snapshot for connected air-source heat pump (ASHP) security is effectively embryonic, with a single patent family on record filed in 2025 by one academic institution. The field is essentially uncontested, signalling that foundational IP positions remain almost entirely unclaimed.
One filer holds the entirety of documented activity
Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology University is the sole ranked applicant in this space, accounting for all documented patent activity in connected ASHP security to date.
Concentration is absolute: the top five filers’ share of the ranked applicants visible in this query is 100%, reflecting a single-player corpus rather than a competitive tier structure.
| # | Applicant | Patent families | Share |

The leader’s position is academic rather than industrial, which means commercial players have not yet translated R&D work — if any exists — into formal patent filings in this specific domain.
The corpus reflects activity through early 2026; given typical publication lags of 18–24 months, a small number of additional filings may exist but remain unpublished. Longer-window growth, applicant concentration, and technology-route coverage are therefore more reliable signals than the latest-year bar alone.
A single 2025 filing defines all recorded activity and technology breadth
The annual filing trend shows zero activity from 2017 through 2024, with one family appearing in 2025. The technology composition reveals that this single filing already spans four IPC classes, indicating a broad, integrative invention rather than a narrow point solution.
Annual filing trend
All recorded activity is concentrated in a single 2025 data point; the zero counts across 2017–2024 confirm the topic has no earlier documented patent history. Given publication lag, any filings made after mid-2024 would not yet appear.

The single family touches F24F (air conditioning and ventilation), G05B (control and regulating systems), G06Q (business and administrative data processing), and H04L (digital information transmission), indicating the invention addresses the full stack from HVAC hardware through network communication to data management.

Assignee snapshot from the current evidence set
The applicants below are visible in this query result. Because the evidence set is relatively small, read this section as a directional snapshot rather than a full competitive ranking.
Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology University
The sole filer in this landscape, holding 1 patent family filed in 2025. Its technology emphasis spans F24F air conditioning, G05B control systems, and G06Q data processing, suggesting a system-level invention. No prior-period filings exist, so momentum data is not available; this is an initial entry into the domain rather than an acceleration of an established programme.
families: 1No challenger identified
No second applicant appears in the ranking. The challenger position is vacant, meaning the first commercial or research organisation to file in this space will immediately occupy the second-ranked position globally.
families: —Frequently asked questions
The current evidence shows 1 patent family in scope, filed in 2025 and assigned to Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology University in India.
Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology University is the sole ranked filer, holding the only documented patent family in this domain.
India is the only jurisdiction with a recorded filing. Major ASHP markets including the United States, Europe, China, Japan, and South Korea have no documented filings in this specific area.
The single family is classified under F24F (air conditioning and ventilation), G05B (control and regulating systems), G06Q (business and administrative data processing), and H04L (digital information transmission).
The evidence shows an effectively unoccupied patent landscape with no industrial incumbents and no prior-art filings before 2025. This suggests first-mover IP positions are available, though organisations should conduct broader prior-art searches beyond this specific corpus before concluding the field is universally clear.
Based on the current evidence, wireless communication network security (H04W) and information security and cryptography (G06F) are technically relevant to connected ASHP systems but absent from the existing corpus, making them notable adjacent branches to monitor.

Patent data carries inherent limitations: recent filings (typically the most recent 18–24 months) are under-counted due to standard publication lag; counts may be reported at either a patent-family or a patent-record basis and are not always directly comparable; classification, applicant-name, and citation data may contain errors, duplicates, or omissions; and the underlying search query defines and constrains the scope shown. As a result, the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
