Company patents
DJO, LLC
DJO LLC's patent strategy appears to be undergoing a significant shift, with its dominant category, Implants & Prosthetics (81.8% of portfolio), showing a notable decline of 13.0% in 2025 and a sharp 70.0% decrease so far in 2026. This is further highlighted by a near complete cessation of patenting activity across most other categories in 2026, including Electrotherapy / Radiation Therapy, Footwear, Healthcare Informatics, Physical Therapy Apparatus, Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, and Data Recognition (Barcodes, OCR), all experiencing a 100.0% decline year-over-year in 2026, suggesting a broad re-evaluation or pause in its intellectual property investments.

Devices providing mechanical support, alignment, traction, or targeted compression to specific body parts, often focusing on joints, spine, or limbs, for therapeutic or corrective purposes.
Systems that provide therapeutic stimulation or field therapy through wearable devices, often incorporating physiological sensing and closed-loop feedback for personalized and adaptive treatment.
Implantable devices used for the fixation, fusion, or replacement of bone structures, particularly in the spine and extremities.
Novel mechanisms for securing footwear to the foot, moving beyond traditional laces to include reel-based cables, vacuum-actuated bladders, or integrated frames for enhanced fit and ease of use.
Therapeutic application of electrical signals to nerves or tissues to modulate their activity, often using implantable devices, electrodes, and sophisticated programming for various conditions.
Engineering of footwear sole components, including midsoles, outsoles, and integrated plates or shanks, to optimize cushioning, stability, energy return, and biomechanical support for specific activities.
Valves specifically designed for managing fluid power in hydraulic or pneumatic systems, including components for pressure regulation, flow direction, and system centering.
Systems that integrate digital technology, sensors, or connectivity to monitor, track, or automate aspects of medication administration, often providing data feedback, personalized recommendations, or secure logging.
Systems and methods for uniquely identifying, tracking, and managing physical items using scannable codes (barcodes, QR codes) or wireless tags (RFID, IoT devices) to link physical objects to digital information, inventory, or services.
Digital platforms and systems that deliver tailored therapeutic interventions, guidance, or recommendations to patients based on their individual health data, biometric feedback, and computational models (e.g., AI/ML, physiological simulations).
Implantable devices designed to manage or redirect bodily fluids, including stents for ducts, and systems for draining or accumulating fluids within internal cavities.
Devices and methods utilizing ultrasound energy for non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment, including focused ultrasound for tissue ablation, neuromodulation, or enhanced substance delivery.
Apparatus designed to deliver localized massage, percussive action, vibration, or combined thermal therapy to muscles and soft tissues for pain relief, circulation improvement, or muscle recovery.
Use of alternating electric or magnetic fields at specific frequencies and intensities to achieve therapeutic effects, such as inhibiting cell proliferation (e.g., cancer) or modulating cytokine production.
Mechanisms and control systems for precisely moving valve elements, often involving electric motors, cams, solenoids, or pneumatic/hydraulic pilots, to achieve desired flow or position.
Devices and software systems designed to facilitate physical rehabilitation, track human movement, evaluate posture, or assess biomechanical parameters for injury recovery, surgical planning, or performance improvement.
