Company patents
DAIHEN Corporation
DAIHEN Corporation's patent strategy reveals a surprising recent surge in core manufacturing technologies, with Manipulators & Robotics patents growing by an impressive 142.9% in 2025 and Welding & Soldering patents increasing by 70.0% in the same year, despite both categories showing a decline so far in 2026. This indicates a strong, albeit fluctuating, focus on bolstering its foundational industrial automation and joining technologies, while areas like Image Processing and Impedance Networks (Filters, Resonators) have seen consistent declines, suggesting a shifting priority away from these computing and semiconductor-related fields.
