Company patents
LAT ENTERPRISES, INC.
LAT ENTERPRISES, INC. exhibits a surprising patent strategy, with a dominant focus on energy storage and distribution, as evidenced by "Batteries & Fuel Cells" (77.0% of portfolio) and "Power Distribution & Storage" (47.1% of portfolio), rather than its seemingly unrelated "Outerwear & Apparel" category (35.6% of portfolio). While all categories showed significant growth in 2024 and 2025, the sharp decline in patent filings across most areas so far in 2026, such as "Electrical Connectors" (YoY -75.0%) and "Electrical Measurement" (YoY -100.0%), suggests a potential shift in R&D priorities or a temporary slowdown in patenting activity.
