Company patents

MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES MACHINERY SYSTEMS, LTD.

MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES MACHINERY SYSTEMS, LTD. exhibits a surprising patent strategy with a strong, albeit fluctuating, focus on manufacturing technologies like "Material Handling (Sheets, Webs)" (19.6% of portfolio), which saw a significant 400.0% YoY growth in 2024 before declining, and "Plastics Shaping & Molding" (8.9% of portfolio), which also experienced a 200.0% YoY surge in 2024, indicating a dynamic, project-based approach rather than consistent long-term investment in specific areas, as many categories show sharp declines in 2025 and 2026 (so far).
