Week of September 24, 2026 · 46 filings covered · refreshes every week

Google's 46 newest filings sort into four clusters:

AI model efficiency. Several filings target how models run: one stops re-processing words already understood, another makes models grade their own answers, a lightweight filter catches harmful responses faster, and a separate system trains models on-device without filling phone memory.
Smarter assistants and search. Filings here include a system that splits queries into tasks and learns from clicks, an on-device assistant that recommends actions before you ask, and an AI that reads your screen and operates apps on your behalf.
Documents, photos, and media. Productivity filings cover spreadsheet formulas written from examples, document formatting that learns your habits, photo editing via plain-English instructions, and rebuilding any video from just a few sample frames.
Waymo and hardware. Waymo's filings cover predicting nearby drivers' moves, steering around icy roads, and stopping robotaxis from blocking traffic, while Google hardware filings address radar-based blood pressure measurement and an AI chip that skips blank video segments to save battery.

What is Google working on right now?

How many patents did Google publish this month?

154 Google patent applications have published in September 2026 so far, after 93 in August. Patentlyze has covered 785 Google filings since tracking began in May 2026.

Does a Google 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 Google is spending research effort right now.
