Company patents
FAST IP, LLC
FAST IP, LLC's patent strategy is overwhelmingly concentrated in Footwear, representing 87.1% of its portfolio, yet this core area has seen a significant decline in patenting activity, dropping 32.3% in 2025 and a further 85.7% so far in 2026. Despite this, the company shows a surprising, albeit small, interest in Manipulators & Robotics, which saw a 100.0% growth in 2025, suggesting a potential, albeit nascent, diversification away from its primary consumer focus.
