Company patents
GELEST, INC.
GELEST, INC. demonstrates a primary focus on "Acyclic / Cyclic Compounds (Other Elements)", which constitutes 58.2% of its portfolio, yet this core area has seen a 20.0% decline in patenting so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite a significant presence in "Coating & Surface Treatment" (26.9% of portfolio), patenting in this area has completely ceased in 2026, showing a -100.0% YoY decline, indicating a notable shift in priorities away from this materials sector.
