Company patents

Ichikoh Industries, Ltd.

Ichikoh Industries, Ltd. surprisingly shows a strong focus on "Non-portable Lighting Devices," accounting for 91.6% of its patent portfolio, despite being known for automotive components, with "Vehicle Lighting & Signaling" making up only 39.3%. While "Lighting Devices (Functional Features)" saw a significant 250.0% YoY growth in 2024, patenting activity across all categories appears to be slowing down in 2026, with partial data showing substantial declines, such as a -91.7% YoY drop in "Vehicle Lighting & Signaling" patents so far this year.
