Company patents
FOSHAN NATIONSTAR OPTOELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
FOSHAN NATIONSTAR OPTOELECTRONICS CO., LTD. shows a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with a significant decline in its historically dominant categories like LED & Optoelectronics (Legacy CPC) and Multi-Chip & 3D Assemblies, both experiencing 100% and 90% YoY declines respectively in 2025. This suggests a redirection of focus, possibly towards emerging areas such as Lighting Devices (Functional Features) which saw a 100% YoY growth in 2025, or a broader re-evaluation of its R&D priorities given the overall drop in patent filings so far in 2026 across most categories.
