Company patents
InnoLux Corporation
InnoLux Corporation's patent strategy reveals a strong, albeit potentially shifting, focus on display technologies, with Liquid Crystal & Optical Modulators (24.3% of portfolio) and Display Drivers (17.4%) being core areas. While Organic Electronics (OLED) saw explosive growth of +193.9% in 2024, indicating an emerging focus, the dramatic year-over-year declines across nearly all categories so far in 2026, including a -100.0% drop in Integrated Circuit Layout & Arrangement and LED & Optoelectronics (Legacy CPC), suggest a significant re-evaluation or slowdown in patenting activity this year.
