Company patents

Next Level Ventures LLC

Next Level Ventures LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising and almost exclusive focus on Smoking Articles, which constitute 51.9% of its total portfolio, despite a significant 75.0% decline in patenting activity in this area in 2025. The company appears to have deprioritized other minor categories like Electric Heating & Lighting Control and Packaging Machines, both of which saw a 100.0% year-over-year decline in 2024 and no further patenting activity through 2026 so far.
