Company patents
LG HAUSYS, LTD.
LG HAUSYS, LTD. exhibits a surprising shift in its patent strategy, with significant declines across several core material and manufacturing categories from 2023 to 2024, such as Plastics Shaping & Molding (-75.0% YoY) and Polymer Working & Compounding (-100.0% YoY). While there's a notable decline in automotive-related filings like Vehicle Seats & Accommodations (-100.0% YoY in 2025), the emergence of a single patent in Batteries & Fuel Cells in 2025 suggests a nascent exploration into new energy technologies, despite the overall contraction in other areas.
