Company patents
SharkNinja Operating LLC
SharkNinja Operating LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising, albeit small, emerging focus on "Pumps (Centrifugal)", which saw a 150.0% year-over-year growth in 2025, despite its minor 0.9% share of the total portfolio. While "Kitchen Equipment" and "Domestic Cleaning Devices" remain core with 29.4% and 24.4% of the portfolio respectively, the significant year-over-year declines across most categories in 2026, such as "Kitchen Equipment" (-64.1%) and "Personal Care Articles" (-64.3%), suggest a potential shift in patenting priorities or a slowdown in new filings so far in 2026.
