Company patents

Codexis, Inc.

Codexis, Inc. demonstrates a strong, albeit fluctuating, commitment to Fermentation & Biosynthesis, which constitutes 55.0% of its portfolio and saw a significant 63.3% YoY growth in 2025, suggesting a recent surge in innovation in this core area. Surprisingly, despite its biotech focus, categories like Pharmaceutical Preparations and Therapeutic Activity (Pharma) show a sharp decline in patenting activity in 2025 and so far in 2026, with Pharmaceutical Preparations experiencing an 83.3% YoY drop in 2025 and no patents filed so far in 2026, indicating a potential strategic shift away from direct pharmaceutical formulation and therapeutic applications.
