Company patents
ADEKA CORPORATION
Adeka Corporation's patent strategy reveals a surprising re-emergence in Batteries & Fuel Cells, with a remarkable 400.0% year-over-year growth so far in 2026, despite a significant decline in the prior two years. While materials science remains a core focus with Polymer Additives (32.4% of portfolio) and Coating & Surface Treatment (26.4% of portfolio), the company is notably shifting away from Pharmaceutical Preparations, which has seen a -100.0% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026.
