Qualcomm's patent portfolio anchors modern wireless: 5G/6G modems, Snapdragon mobile and laptop SoCs, on-device AI accelerators, and automotive radio platforms.

Your self-driving car makes a move you don't understand, you grab the wheel, and then you do the exact same thing yourself. Qualcomm's patent application treats that moment as a clue that the car should have explained itself.
Week of November 12, 2026 · 35 filings covered · refreshes every week
The 35 Qualcomm filings Patentlyze covered sort into four clusters:
Based on Qualcomm's activity across the watchlists we track · tracked programs only, not all of Qualcomm's output
what qualifies: first Qualcomm filing within the last 8 weeks
what qualifies: 3 or more companies in the same watchlist, Qualcomm among them
what qualifies: no new Qualcomm filing in 6 or more weeks while the race stays active
Numbers pull live from the database, so answers never go stale
Qualcomm's tracked filings sit inside contested races, including The AR glasses race, The AI chip wars and The self-driving sensing race. The breakdown above shows each program’s filing count and latest activity.
Patentlyze has covered 57 Qualcomm patent applications published in November 2026 so far, after 106 in October. We cover the notable filings, not every one, so Qualcomm’s own total is higher. Since tracking began in May 2026, Patentlyze has covered 624 Qualcomm filings.
