This week's published patents

Week of October 1, 2026 · 45 filings covered · refreshes every week

Google's 45 filings this week sort into four clusters:

Search and AI assistants. Filings here include a browser that lets you search every page you've visited in plain English, a search session that merges related questions automatically, and an AI assistant that fills in task details mid-conversation.
Perception and vision AI. A camera that reframes around whatever you tap, a system that teaches AI to copy text styles in images, and a method for mapping 3D objects by tracing how light rays miss them represent the vision cluster.
Waymo autonomy. Waymo filed systems that forecast where nearby drivers and pedestrians will go, grade the vehicle's own driving decisions, and read traffic signs in any weather using two sensors.
Health and wearables. Verily and Google filed a breath-based cancer-detection method, a contact lens case that tracks missed wear, and a smartwatch that forecasts irregular heartbeat episodes.

How many patents did Google publish this month?

45 Google patent applications have published in October 2026 so far, after 154 in September. Patentlyze has covered 830 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.
