Company patents
NORITZ CORPORATION
NORITZ CORPORATION's patent strategy reveals a surprising, albeit small, focus on Wireless Networks, which accounts for 5.8% of its portfolio and saw a 100.0% year-over-year growth in 2024, with 2 patents so far in 2026, suggesting an emerging interest beyond its core manufacturing areas. Concurrently, several manufacturing-related categories like Heat Exchangers (Specific Types), Heat Exchange Components, Industrial Control Systems, Pumps (Centrifugal), and Mixing show a complete decline in patenting activity in 2026, each with a -100.0% year-over-year change, indicating a significant shift away from these areas.
