Company patents

SFC CO., LTD.

SFC CO., LTD's patent strategy reveals a surprising dual focus on Organic Electronics (OLED), which constitutes 77.5% of its portfolio, alongside a significant commitment to pharma_biotech categories, which collectively account for over 100% of the portfolio due to overlapping patents. While categories like Organic Electronics (OLED) and Functional Materials (LCD, Lubricants) saw substantial growth in 2024 (153.3% and 68.8% YoY respectively), the complete cessation of patenting in Specialty Semiconductor Devices (Legacy) since 2024 (a 100% YoY decline) indicates a clear shift away from this area, even as several pharma_biotech categories showed renewed growth in 2025 before a general decline so far in 2026.
