Company patents
Anthony, Inc.
Anthony, Inc.'s patent strategy appears to be undergoing a significant shift, with a surprising decline in its core "Refrigerators & Cold Storage" category, which represents 47.5% of its portfolio, showing a -75.0% YoY drop so far in 2026 after strong growth in prior years. This is coupled with a broad reduction in patenting across many other categories, including a -100.0% YoY decline in "Signs & Displays (Static)" and "Printed Circuits & Electronic Assemblies" so far in 2026, suggesting a potential re-evaluation of its R&D focus.
