Company patents

Next Level Ventures LLC

Next Level Ventures LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its dominant "Smoking Articles" category, which, despite representing 53.7% of its portfolio, saw a significant 75.0% decline in patenting in 2025. This indicates a potential re-evaluation of its core consumer focus, especially given the complete cessation of patenting in "Packaging Machines" and "Electric Heating & Lighting Control" since 2023.
