Company patents
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises LLC
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from several core manufacturing and electrical power categories, with significant declines in areas like Power Conversion (DC/AC, DC/DC) and Pumps (Positive Displacement), both experiencing a -100.0% YoY drop in 2025. While Valves and Electric Motors & Generators remain top categories, both saw a +50.0% YoY increase in 2026 so far, indicating a potential renewed focus after previous declines, contrasting with the complete cessation of patenting in Aircraft Equipment and Electrical Connectors in 2026.
