Company patents
Berry Global, Inc.
Berry Global, Inc. surprisingly shows a significant patent focus beyond its core Containers & Packaging (44.9% of portfolio), with an unexpected 4.2% of its portfolio in Implants & Prosthetics and 3.6% in Sterilization & Biocompatible Materials, indicating a strategic diversification into medical device technologies, despite a recent decline in these areas in 2026 so far. While its primary category, Containers & Packaging, saw a substantial 40.0% YoY growth in 2024, it has since experienced a notable decline, suggesting a shifting priority or completion of key projects within this segment.

Accessories and design features for cups, bottles, dishes, and other containers, focusing on stability, protection, controlled dispensing, or improved handling.
Techniques for manufacturing thin polymer layers, sheets, or multi-layer structures, often optimized for specific properties such as flexibility, barrier function, filtration, or mechanical strength.
Techniques for combining multiple materials or layers, often with specialized surface treatments, coatings, or assembly methods, to create functional or aesthetically enhanced plastic articles, including consumer goods and encapsulated electronics.
Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.
Multi-layer polymer films engineered to provide superior barrier properties against gases (e.g., oxygen), moisture, or aromas, often incorporating heat-sealing or resealing mechanisms for food and product preservation.
Development and application of textile materials with engineered properties such as waterproofing, thermal regulation, anti-cling, structural coloration, or enhanced filtration capabilities for specific performance needs.
Structural elements within a container designed to secure, separate, cushion, or otherwise protect individual items or groups of contents from movement, shock, or damage.
Development and application of polymer compositions designed for reprocessability, recyclability, or incorporating sustainable additives, often featuring reversible bonds or bio-based components.
Thin, multi-layered films and structures specifically designed for electronic applications, including flexible substrates for devices, display panel components, and active material layers for battery electrodes.
Processes involving the application of heat and pressure to shape thermoplastic or elastomeric materials, often using molds or presses, to achieve specific forms or material properties.
Methods and equipment for continuously shaping plastic materials by forcing them through a die, often involving screw extruders, heating elements, and downstream calibration.
Polymer compositions tailored for medical and biological applications, including implantable devices, drug delivery systems, and diagnostic tools, emphasizing properties like biocompatibility, hydrolysis resistance, optical clarity, and specific mechanical characteristics.
Design features and components integrated into containers to improve ease of carrying, handling, or transport, such as specialized handles, wheels, or adjustable elements.
Packaging solutions that incorporate active components such as motors, sensors, or indicators to perform specific functions, provide feedback, or enable tracking of the container or its contents.
Systems and materials designed for purifying biological fluids (like blood) or capturing airborne particles (like respiratory droplets) using membranes, filters, or specialized coatings.
Methods and apparatus for disinfecting or sterilizing medical devices, waste, or environments, often employing radiation, chemical agents, or thermal processes, and including monitoring systems.
Additives or compositions specifically formulated for surface application or modification to impart protective, decorative, or specialized functional properties to polymer products.
