This week's published patents

Week of August 13, 2026 · 44 filings covered · refreshes every week

Samsung's 44 filings are the week's biggest haul, split four ways:

Screens in every shape. A phone that slides open to a bigger screen, a crease-free foldable hinge, a dual-screen device that makes the gap a feature, and fixes for touch accuracy at the edges.
Chipmaking at home. Wafer inspection systems, zone-by-zone AI defect detection, and a water-based method for depositing chip-grade molybdenum films.
Smaller, faster AI. Shrinking AI programs without losing accuracy, training one model across many network nodes, and an AI that tunes its own photo processing steps.
The one to tell someone about. A powered exosuit that lets you dial in how hard it pushes back.

Does a Samsung 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 Samsung is spending research effort right now.
