Company patents
Ergotron, Inc.
Ergotron, Inc. appears to be significantly shifting its patent strategy away from its core "Tables & Desks" category, which represents 47.2% of its portfolio but has seen a consistent decline in patent grants, including a 50.0% drop in 2025 and so far in 2026. This is further emphasized by a drastic decline in "Power Distribution & Storage" (18.9% of portfolio), which saw a 100.0% decrease in patents so far in 2026, suggesting a broad de-emphasis on traditional product areas despite minor, sporadic activity in niche categories like "Web & Cloud Service Protocols" and "Manipulators & Robotics" in 2026.
