Company patents
J. MORITA MFG. CORP.
J. MORITA MFG. CORP. demonstrates a surprising dual focus, with 55.1% of its portfolio in Dentistry and a significant 43.5% in Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, which saw a remarkable 140.0% YoY growth in 2024, indicating an emerging priority in broader medical device innovation beyond its core dental business. While Dentistry saw a 30.0% growth in 2025, the sharp decline of 53.8% so far in 2026 suggests a potential shift in resource allocation, especially as categories like Pictorial / Video Communications and Computer Vision have seen a 100.0% decline so far in 2026, indicating a shifting priority away from these specific computing applications.
