Company patents
Inteplast Group Corporation
Inteplast Group Corporation, despite its core focus on "Containers & Packaging" (43.6% of its portfolio), surprisingly shows a significant, albeit fluctuating, interest in "Medical Diagnostics & Surgery," which saw a 300.0% YoY growth in 2024, indicating a potential, though currently declining, diversification into medical applications, while its "Outerwear & Apparel" and "Footwear" categories have seen a complete cessation of patenting activity so far in 2026, suggesting a shifting priority away from these consumer goods.

Multi-layer polymer films engineered to provide superior barrier properties against gases (e.g., oxygen), moisture, or aromas, often incorporating heat-sealing or resealing mechanisms for food and product preservation.
Techniques for combining multiple materials or layers, often with specialized surface treatments, coatings, or assembly methods, to create functional or aesthetically enhanced plastic articles, including consumer goods and encapsulated electronics.
Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.
Methods and equipment for continuously shaping plastic materials by forcing them through a die, often involving screw extruders, heating elements, and downstream calibration.
Thin, multi-layered films and structures specifically designed for electronic applications, including flexible substrates for devices, display panel components, and active material layers for battery electrodes.
Novel mechanisms for securing footwear to the foot, moving beyond traditional laces to include reel-based cables, vacuum-actuated bladders, or integrated frames for enhanced fit and ease of use.
Footwear systems designed with interchangeable or reconfigurable components, such as soles, uppers, or footbeds, to allow for customization, repair, or adaptation to different uses.
Household articles engineered with mechanisms for folding, retracting, or collapsing to reduce their footprint, facilitate storage, or enable portability.
Design principles and features in apparel that allow for adjustability, customization, easy replacement of components, or specific fit to accommodate diverse body shapes, activities, or medical requirements.
Utilization of knitted components, often with multi-layer structures or integrated thermoplastic yarns, and other advanced materials like specialized foams or structural color elements, for footwear uppers and other components.
Engineering of footwear sole components, including midsoles, outsoles, and integrated plates or shanks, to optimize cushioning, stability, energy return, and biomechanical support for specific activities.
