Company patents
MannKind Corporation
Mann Kind Corporation's patent strategy reveals a strong dual focus on "Pharmaceutical Preparations" (58.5% of portfolio) and "Drug Delivery Devices" (47.9%), with the latter showing a significant re-emphasis in 2025 with a +77.8% YoY growth after a decline. Surprisingly, despite its core pharma identity, the company also shows an emerging interest in "Healthcare Informatics," with a +100.0% YoY growth so far in 2026, suggesting a potential diversification into digital health solutions.

Delivery systems specifically engineered to administer advanced drug formulations (e.g., microparticles, biologics, extended-release systems) to achieve precise targeting, controlled release kinetics, or enhanced therapeutic efficacy within the body.
Mechanical or electromechanical systems designed for precise, often self-administered, delivery of medicaments, including features for dose setting, needle insertion/retraction, and safety mechanisms to prevent premature activation.
Devices or systems designed to precisely measure and deliver specific doses of medication, often incorporating automated mechanisms, dose-limiting features, or hands-free operation.
Devices and adapters that enable the sterile and secure transfer of liquids, such as medications or diluents, between containers (vials, syringes, IV bags) while minimizing exposure to contaminants or air.
Processes and methodologies for the efficient and scalable preparation of complex heterocyclic compounds and their precursors, including specific reaction conditions, purification techniques, and intermediate compounds.
Systems that integrate digital technology, sensors, or connectivity to monitor, track, or automate aspects of medication administration, often providing data feedback, personalized recommendations, or secure logging.
Devices that assist in the physical modification or mixing of medications prior to administration, such as crushing solid drugs, cutting pills, reconstituting lyophilized products, or extracting from other devices.
Systems and devices for delivering gases, aerosols, or pressure support to the respiratory system, often including interfaces like masks and sophisticated control mechanisms for therapeutic effect or airway management.
Digital platforms and systems that deliver tailored therapeutic interventions, guidance, or recommendations to patients based on their individual health data, biometric feedback, and computational models (e.g., AI/ML, physiological simulations).
