Company patents

Lifetime Products, Inc.

Lifetime Products, Inc. shows a surprising and significant focus on "Ships & Marine Vessels," accounting for 20.3% of its portfolio, with a remarkable 200.0% year-over-year growth in 2024, indicating an emerging strategic direction beyond its core consumer goods, despite a recent decline in 2025. While "Tables & Desks" remains its largest category at 42.2%, the complete absence of patent filings in this area and "Plastics Shaping & Molding" so far in 2026 suggests a potential shift in priorities or a temporary pause in innovation for these historically strong areas.
