Company patents
HANGZHOU SANHUA RESEARCH INSTITUTE CO., LTD.
HANGZHOU SANHUA RESEARCH INSTITUTE CO., LTD. shows a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with a near complete halt in new patent filings across its core areas like Heat Exchange Components, Vehicle Heating / Cooling, and Refrigeration, all experiencing a -100.0% YoY decline so far in 2026 after significant drops in 2025. This indicates a potential re-evaluation of R&D investment or a strategic pivot away from these previously dominant categories, which collectively represented over 87% of its portfolio.
