Company patents

FUJIKIN INCORPORATED

Fujikin Incorporated's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core "Valves" category, which, despite comprising 51.8% of its portfolio, saw a significant 46.2% decline in 2025 and a further 78.6% drop so far in 2026. While most categories show a sharp decline in patenting activity in 2026, the company appears to be maintaining some focus on "Force / Pressure Measurement," which, after a substantial 400.0% growth in 2024, has held steady with 2 patents so far in 2026.
