Company patents

CHINA THREE GORGES CORPORATION

CHINA THREE GORGES CORPORATION, despite its core business in energy, shows a surprising emerging focus in Electronic Design Automation (CAD/EDA), which saw a remarkable 300.0% year-over-year growth in 2025, accounting for 10.8% of its portfolio. Concurrently, the company appears to be shifting priorities away from several manufacturing and materials categories like Plastics Shaping & Molding, Layered Products (Laminates, Films), Adhesives, and Machine Testing, all of which experienced significant declines or zero patenting activity in 2025 and so far in 2026.
