Time Series Forecasting Patents: Who Leads, Where the Gaps Are 2026
Time Series Forecasting Model Patents: Filing Trends, Leaders and White Space
25.0% concentration at the top. The five leading assignees account for 115 of the 460 records in scope, a quarter of the whole field held by a small group. Filings moved from 8 in 2017 to a peak of 99 in 2025, with the 2021-2024 span alone showing a 29% increase from 48 to 62 filings. Treat 2025 and 2026 as partial: the true trajectory for those years will only be visible once publication catches up.

Common questions on time series forecasting patents
How many patent families exist for time series forecasting models?
This dataset identifies 460 published records across the 2015 to 2026 window, treated as the assignee ranking’s family count. The field spans core algorithmic claims in AI-based computation (IPC class G06N, 47.8% of records) as well as applied claims in business processing, healthcare informatics and control systems. Because publication lags filing by around 18 months, the true 2025-2026 total will be higher once later filings surface.
Who are the leading patent holders in time series forecasting?
The ranked list covers 100 companies, with the leading assignee holding 39 records against a fifth-place count of 15 and a tenth-place count of 9. That gap indicates one dominant filer rather than a tightly bunched leadership group. The top five combined hold 115 records, a quarter of the entire 460-record dataset, so the rest of the ranking is a long tail of smaller filers.
Is patent filing activity in this space still growing?
Yes, over the period that can be read reliably: filings rose from 48 in 2021 to 62 in 2024, a 29% increase. The 2025 figure shows a peak of 99, but because publication lags filing by roughly 18 months, the 2025 and 2026 numbers understate real activity and should not be read as a slowdown or a spike in isolation.
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.
