NTT DATA Applies 509 NTT Group AI Patents to Deliver Differentiated, Scalable Business Value

Why patents, not prototypes?

• They move ideas faster. Partners and regulators see the invention is protected, so projects don't stall in legal limbo.
• They build trust. Clear ownership helps customers trace accountability through an ever-growing AI supply chain.
• They keep ideas alive. Patented techniques can evolve through licensing and collaboration instead of being copied and forgotten.

A team effort, powered by synergy

All of these patents were born from the entire NTT group of companies and our global R&D teams combining their strengths. When a breakthrough in optical networking accelerates another team's AI training, everyone benefits, and the patent count keeps rising.

Where do we stand worldwide?

The World Intellectual Property Organization's 2024 Patent Landscape Report: Generative Artificial Intelligence ranks NTT 13th globally for GenAI patent families published between 2014 and 2023. This places us among innovation leaders such as Alphabet, Microsoft, and Samsung (WIPO).

What happens next?

Faster roll outs. NTT DATA is leveraging patents developed across the entire NTT group—making them available through our new Generative AI Technology Hub, platforms, accelerators, and industry-specific solutions. Through the Generative AI Technology Hub, these patents are transformed into modular, reusable components that can be quickly integrated into enterprise environments. This approach enables us to deliver differentiated value by combining proprietary IP with scalable, production-ready delivery.

Three quick takeaways

1. Patents are fuel. They power real products, not just bragging rights.
2. Scale wins. A connected group of companies invents faster than any single team.
3. GenAI is moving now. Secure your own IP—or watch others set the pace.
