KWANSEI GAKUIN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

KWANSEI GAKUIN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, surprisingly for an educational institution, demonstrates a significant patent focus on Semiconductor Manufacturing Process, comprising 47.3% of its portfolio, which saw substantial growth of +83.3% in 2024 and +36.4% in 2025 before a sharp decline of -80.0% so far in 2026. This indicates a strong, albeit volatile, commitment to semiconductor technology, while areas like Acyclic / Cyclic Compounds (Other Elements) and Functional Materials (LCD, Lubricants) appear to be shifting priorities with declines of -100.0% and -100.0% respectively so far in 2026.
