Company patents
Ember Technologies, Inc.
Ember Technologies, Inc. surprisingly shows a strong, albeit declining, focus on core refrigeration technologies, with "Refrigerators & Cold Storage" accounting for 73.5% of its portfolio and "Refrigeration" making up 67.3%, despite both categories experiencing significant year-over-year declines in 2025 (40.0% and 53.3% respectively) and so far in 2026. This suggests a potential shift away from its foundational patenting areas, with categories like "Kitchen Equipment" and "Household Articles" also seeing substantial declines in recent years, including zero patents so far in 2026.
