Adobe's 11 filings are almost all generative editing:

  • Fixing AI video. A generator that keeps scenes consistent across frames and a fix for the flickering that plagues AI-generated clips.
  • Editing by conversation. Building graphic designs by talking through them, catching where AI misreads plain-English commands, and turning hand-drawn sketches into editable design files.
  • The eyebrow-raiser. A filing that predicts web browsing behavior for ad targeting.

How many patents did Adobe publish this month?

16 Adobe patent applications have published in August 2026 so far, after 26 in July. Patentlyze has covered 115 Adobe filings since tracking began in May 2026.

Does an Adobe patent mean the feature will launch?

No. A published application is not a product announcement. Companies file to protect options, and most patented ideas never ship in the form described. What filings do show is where Adobe is spending research effort right now.
