Company patents
ADVICS CO., LTD.
ADVICS CO., LTD's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in core automotive braking and control systems, with Vehicle Brake Systems accounting for 61.9% of its portfolio and Vehicle Control Systems for 29.4%, both showing significant growth in 2024 (87.1% and 200.0% YoY respectively) before a recent decline. Surprisingly, despite the automotive focus, the company appears to be shifting away from Electric Vehicle Propulsion, which saw a -100.0% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026, suggesting a potential reprioritization of its R&D efforts within the evolving automotive landscape.
