Company patents
Nanosys, Inc.
Nanosys, Inc. demonstrates a patent strategy heavily concentrated in LED & Optoelectronics (Legacy CPC), accounting for 65.9% of its portfolio, yet surprisingly, patenting in this core area saw an 82.6% decline in 2024. While most categories show significant year-over-year declines in 2024, the consistent patenting in Organic Electronics (OLED) with 3 patents in both 2023 and 2024 (0.0% YoY change) suggests a stable, albeit smaller, focus amidst broader portfolio shifts.
