Company patents

Karsten Manufacturing Corporation

Karsten Manufacturing Corporation's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in Sports Equipment, representing 75.5% of its portfolio, yet this core area saw a significant decline of 21.2% in 2025 and a further 67.4% decrease so far in 2026, suggesting a potential shift away from aggressive patenting in its primary domain. Surprisingly, despite its manufacturing focus, smaller categories like Welding & Soldering and Fasteners have seen complete cessation of patenting activity so far in 2026, indicating a reprioritization of R&D efforts.
