Company patents

CENTER FOR ADVANCED META-MATERIALS

CENTER FOR ADVANCED META-MATERIALS' patent strategy shows a surprising recent surge in "Material & Chemical Analysis," which comprises 21.9% of its portfolio and experienced a remarkable 250.0% year-over-year growth in 2025, indicating an emerging focus despite a partial decline so far in 2026. Concurrently, the company appears to be shifting priorities away from "Printed Circuits & Electronic Assemblies," "Optical Elements & Systems," and "Antennas," all of which saw a 100.0% year-over-year decline in patent filings so far in 2026.
