Company patents
Elemental Scientific, Inc.
Elemental Scientific Inc. demonstrates a primary focus on Material & Chemical Analysis, comprising 81.5% of its portfolio, and Electron / Ion Tubes & Discharge, at 54.3%, despite both categories showing a decline in patenting activity in 2025 and so far in 2026. Surprisingly, while Semiconductor Manufacturing Process and Semiconductor Testing have seen significant declines of -100.0% and -100.0% respectively so far in 2026, the company maintained a consistent, albeit small, patenting effort in Industrial & Autonomous Control with 1 patent in 2025 and 1 so far in 2026.
