Company patents
EndoChoice, Inc.
EndoChoice, Inc. surprisingly shows a strong focus on Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, representing 100.0% of its portfolio, with a significant surge in 2024 (YoY +69.2%). However, its emerging focus on Optical Elements & Systems, which grew by +85.7% in 2024, appears to be shifting, with a -46.2% decline in 2025 and a further -71.4% decline so far in 2026, indicating a potential reprioritization away from this area despite its earlier rapid growth.
