Company patents

ELC MANAGEMENT LLC

ELC MANAGEMENT LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising push into computing technologies, with Computer Vision and Image Processing collectively accounting for 13.0% of its portfolio and showing significant activity in 2025 and so far in 2026, despite a decline in 2026. While core areas like Personal Care Articles remain dominant (37.0% of portfolio), the sharp 100.0% YoY growth in Pharmaceutical Preparations and Cosmetics & Personal Care Use in 2025, followed by a decline in 2026, suggests a dynamic and potentially shifting focus within its traditional strengths.
