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.

Devices and systems that utilize sensors, AI, robotics, or advanced delivery mechanisms (e.g., electrostatic spraying) to precisely apply cosmetic substances, control application parameters, or personalize formulations based on user data.
Innovative designs for cosmetic containers and dispensing systems that feature modular components, integrated applicators, reusability, or enhanced mechanisms for storing and delivering multiple cosmetic products.
Innovations in creating stable cosmetic formulations, particularly oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, and developing novel stabilizers or rheology modifiers for desired texture, feel, and shelf-life.
Development of combs, brushes, and other manual or semi-manual personal care tools with novel structural features, materials, or ergonomic considerations to improve user experience, application effectiveness, or specialized grooming tasks.
Formulations and active ingredients designed to counteract signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, or to promote skin repair and regeneration through specific biological mechanisms.
Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.
Technologies focused on encapsulating active ingredients or fragrances to control their release, enhance their substantivity, or improve their stability and efficacy in personal care products.
Development of personal care compositions that achieve effective cleansing and conditioning benefits while avoiding harsh sulfated surfactants, often using alternative, milder surfactant systems.
Systems that use user data, preferences, and machine learning to generate tailored advice, product recommendations, goal-setting plans, or contextual information for individuals across different domains.
Chemical compositions and methods for stimulating hair growth, altering hair structure for styling (e.g., straightening, curling, dyeing), or protecting hair from environmental damage and heat.
Devices and methods for the regulated delivery, preservation, and emission of volatile chemical agents, often for fragrance or therapeutic purposes, within various environments or containers.
Systems and devices that leverage digital imaging, light-based curing, and automation for precise nail decoration, treatment, or guided application, often with self-service or mobile integration.
Systems and devices that precisely regulate temperature for personal care products or appliances, often incorporating sensors, processors, and communication for enhanced control, efficiency, or safety.
Systems leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to dynamically adjust educational content, learning paths, goals, or feedback based on individual user performance, progress, or physiological data. This includes generating personalized exercises, recommendations, and adaptive sequencing of knowledge points.
Compositions specifically developed for maintaining oral hygiene, preventing dental issues like cavities and gingivitis, and improving cosmetic aspects such as teeth whitening.
Technologies that create virtual, augmented, or mixed reality environments, often incorporating haptic feedback or realistic AI-driven agents, to provide immersive and safe training experiences for complex tasks, procedures, or scenarios.
Delivery systems specifically engineered to administer advanced drug formulations (e.g., microparticles, biologics, extended-release systems) to achieve precise targeting, controlled release kinetics, or enhanced therapeutic efficacy within the body.
Techniques utilizing deep learning models like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) or diffusion models to create new images, modify existing ones, or generate synthetic data based on various inputs or conditions.
Design and synthesis of acyclic or carbocyclic organic compounds that selectively modulate specific biological targets or pathways for the treatment of diseases.
Advanced systems and stations that automate complex hair cleaning, dyeing, or styling processes using specialized fluid delivery, acoustic waves, or other non-thermal physical mechanisms.
Processes for creating or manipulating three-dimensional digital representations of objects or environments, including mesh generation, surface fitting, and depth estimation from multiple views.
