Company patents
KELK Ltd.
KELK Ltd. appears to be strategically consolidating its patent focus, with a significant 38.2% of its portfolio in Inorganic Devices (Thermoelectric, Piezo) and 27.3% in Semiconductor Manufacturing Process, despite a notable decline in patenting activity across most categories in 2025 and so far in 2026, including a 100% drop in Semiconductor Manufacturing Process patents in 2026. This suggests a potential shift away from broad semiconductor innovation towards more targeted development within its core inorganic device technologies.
