Equifax announced that it has secured 27 new patents in the second half of 2025, bringing its total portfolio for the year to 62. 20 of the new patents focus on artificial‑intelligence technologies, while more than 320 of the company’s pending and approved patents support responsible‑AI practices.
The new patents add to a broader IP base that now totals nearly 700 issued or pending patents as of November 2025. Equifax has also invested roughly $3 billion in its Equifax Cloud platform, the foundation for its EFX.AI strategy, and the company operates in 24 countries worldwide.
These intellectual‑property gains reinforce Equifax’s EFX.AI strategy, which seeks to deliver cloud‑native, AI‑enabled solutions across its consumer, commercial and government businesses. By expanding its patent portfolio, Equifax aims to strengthen its competitive moat and create new revenue opportunities in the growing AI‑driven data services market, positioning the company to monetize its unique data assets and cloud platform more effectively.
While the patent announcement itself is not tied to a quarterly earnings release, it complements the company’s recent financial performance. In Q3 2025, Equifax reported revenue of approximately $1.55 billion, up 7% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings per share of $2.04, a beat of $0.11 over the consensus estimate of $1.93. The earnings beat was driven by strong demand in the commercial and government segments and disciplined cost management, underscoring the operational strength that the new patents will support.
Harald Schneider, Chief Data & Analytics Officer, said, “Equifax patents protect the unique innovations created for the benefit of the customers and consumers we serve in 24 countries around the world. We are focused on continuous innovation. Our growing suite of EFX.AI‑powered solutions, made possible by the Equifax Cloud™, our unique differentiated data, and our patented capabilities are driving higher‑performing solutions and processes to help our customers get to the insights they need faster, ultimately enabling new consumer opportunities.”
The patent milestone signals Equifax’s continued commitment to innovation and its strategic focus on AI, reinforcing the company’s long‑term growth trajectory and competitive positioning in the data‑analytics industry.
