Hasbro filed 1 patent in H1 2026, covering Hardware.
The application details a magnetic tracking system designed to identify and locate individual board game pieces on electronic game boards. This technology enables precise piece recognition for hybrid physical-digital gameplay experiences.
On the Hardware side, 1 patent covers a magnetic tracking system for electronic game boards. Rather than simply detecting whether a piece is present on a given square, the system uses magnetically differentiated pieces, each with its own combination of field strength and polarity, so the board can determine exactly which specific piece occupies each location. That distinction between presence detection and full piece identification is the core technical contribution of the application.
