Linear Resonant Actuator Patents: Top Companies & Trends 2026
Linear Resonant Actuator Patents: Who Leads and Where the Claim Space Is Still Open
Filing is concentrated but not locked up. The top 5 assignees hold 51.7% of the 60 records in scope, and the top 10 hold 75.0% — a real lead, but with room below it. Filings rose from 6 in 2017 to a peak of 13 in 2020, then eased; the 2021-2024 span (the most recent years complete enough to compare) moved from 4 to 3, a -25% shift. 2025 and 2026 counts will keep rising as publications catch up to filing dates, given the roughly 18-month publication lag.

Common questions about linear resonant actuator patents
Who holds the most linear resonant actuator patents?
In this 60-record dataset, one assignee leads with 12 records, well ahead of fifth place at 4. The top 5 assignees combined hold 51.7% of all records in scope, and the top 10 hold 75.0%, so while there is a clear leader, a quarter of the field is spread across companies outside the top 10. The ranking covers 29 companies total, which is the full set the search returns rather than a curated top-50 or top-100 list.
Is linear resonant actuator patent filing still growing?
Filing rose from 6 records in 2017 to a peak of 13 in 2020, then eased; comparing 2021 to 2024, the count moved from 4 to 3, a -25% change over that span. Because patent publication typically lags filing by about 18 months, the 2025 and 2026 counts in any such dataset are understated and should not yet be read as a continuing decline. A fairer read is that activity cooled from its 2020 high rather than that the field is shrinking.
What technology areas do linear resonant actuator patents cover most?
Digital processing and control claims dominate: G06F appears in 40.0% of the 60 records and H02P (motor and generator control) in 33.3%. Mechanical vibration generation under B06B follows at 21.7%, with electric motor hardware under H02K at 16.7%. Because records can carry multiple IPC codes, these shares overlap and add to more than 100%, reflecting how closely control logic and mechanical actuator design are claimed together.
Disclaimer. This analysis is based on Patsnap Eureka data drawn from a limited snapshot of global patent records and is provided for general information and reference only. Patent data carries inherent limitations — recent filings are under-counted because of publication lag, counts may be on a record or family basis, classification and applicant-name data may contain errors or duplicates, and the underlying search query defines the scope shown — so the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
Nothing here is an exhaustive prior-art, novelty, freedom-to-operate or validity search, nor does it constitute legal, financial or professional advice, and it should not be relied upon as such. Verify independently and review with qualified patent and legal professionals before acting on it.
Method: Filing trend and technology composition. Derived from a Patsnap search on Linear Resonant Actuators covering 2015–2026, data cut-off 2026-07-31. Counts reflect published records only and shift as new filings publish. Every share divides by all records in scope. Data: Patsnap Eureka. See the full landscape report.
