Company patents
OPEX Corporation
OPEX Corporation, while heavily invested in Conveying & Handling with 65.7% of its portfolio, surprisingly shows a significant decline in patenting across nearly all categories in 2025 and so far in 2026, including a -70.0% YoY drop in Conveying & Handling in 2025 and a complete cessation of new patents in Business Methods & Fintech, Industrial & Autonomous Control, Manipulators & Robotics, and Pictorial / Video Communications so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift or slowdown in its innovation output after a strong 2024.
