Company patents
Niterra Co., Ltd.
NITERRA CO, LTD.'s patent strategy reveals a surprising, albeit short-lived, surge in several areas in 2024, with Material & Chemical Analysis (22.0% of portfolio) and Electric Heating & Lighting Control (9.3% of portfolio) seeing dramatic YoY increases of +950.0% and +1000.0% respectively, followed by significant declines in 2025 and so far in 2026, indicating a rapid but potentially unsustainable exploration of these technologies. While Machine Testing showed strong growth in 2025 (+100.0% YoY), the company's overall trend across most categories, including Semiconductor Manufacturing Process and Batteries & Fuel Cells, points to a shifting priority away from these areas as patent filings have sharply decreased in 2025 and 2026 (partial data).
