Company patents
Apeel Technology, Inc.
Apeel Technology, Inc.'s patent strategy shows a surprising shift away from its core 'Foods & Beverages' category, which, despite being 45.7% of its portfolio, has seen a sharp decline in patent filings with a -50.0% YoY drop so far in 2026 and significant declines in prior years. Concurrently, while smaller in overall count, the company appears to be exploring digital and business-oriented innovations, with 'Business Methods & Fintech' and 'Computer Vision' showing recent activity after prior year fluctuations, suggesting a potential diversification beyond its traditional material science applications.

Techniques and equipment for transforming raw food materials into finished products, focusing on efficiency, quality, texture modification, or specific physical alterations like extrusion, drying, or selective material removal.
Technologies focused on enhancing the stability, efficacy, spread, or targeted application of biocidal active ingredients through specialized carriers, adjuvants, encapsulation, or physical forms (e.g., gels, spray-dried particles).
Development of food compositions, beverages, or powders designed to provide specific health benefits beyond basic nutrition, such as weight management, anti-aging, exercise support, or targeted disease prevention/treatment, often incorporating bioactive compounds or probiotics.
Additives or compositions specifically formulated for surface application or modification to impart protective, decorative, or specialized functional properties to polymer products.
Methods for producing organic chemicals from biomass or through fermentation processes, often focusing on carbohydrates or fatty acid derivatives for food, health, or industrial applications.
Compositions and methods designed to either lure insect pests to traps or away from crops, often utilizing specific volatile organic compounds such as pheromones, kairomones, or natural essential oils.
Methods and compositions for developing new protein sources (e.g., microbial, plant-based blends) or utilizing controlled fermentation processes to create novel food products, improve nutritional profiles, or enhance specific characteristics like texture or flavor.
Innovations in formulating food products by manipulating specific ingredients, emulsifiers, flavor compounds, or processing aids to achieve desired sensory properties (taste, aroma, texture) or enhance shelf stability.
Methods and apparatus for disinfecting or sterilizing medical devices, waste, or environments, often employing radiation, chemical agents, or thermal processes, and including monitoring systems.
Development and application of polymer compositions designed for reprocessability, recyclability, or incorporating sustainable additives, often featuring reversible bonds or bio-based components.
Methods and compositions that stimulate a plant's natural defense mechanisms or improve its physiological resilience against pathogens, pests, or environmental stressors, rather than directly eliminating the threat.
Methods and apparatus for improving the visual fidelity, resolution, or compression efficiency of video signals, often through advanced processing, up-scaling, or neural network-based filters.
Innovation in chemical compounds or optimized formulations specifically designed to control or inhibit the growth of unwanted plants (weeds) in agricultural settings, often with improved selectivity or reduced environmental impact.
