Company patents
Pratt Retail Specialties, LLC
Pratt Retail Specialties, LLC's patent strategy is surprisingly narrow, with 100.0% of its portfolio in Containers & Packaging, yet within this core, it shows a dynamic shift. While Containers & Packaging itself saw a significant decline of 58.8% so far in 2026, the company previously demonstrated an emerging focus on Refrigerators & Cold Storage, which grew by 40.0% YoY in 2024, despite a subsequent decline in 2025 and 2026, indicating a potential exploration of specialized packaging solutions within cold chain logistics.
