Company patents

SHENZHEN FIRST UNION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

SHENZHEN FIRST UNION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. surprisingly maintains a strong focus on Smoking Articles, representing 92.9% of its patent portfolio, despite a significant year-over-year decline of 67.5% in patenting activity for this category so far in 2026. While Electric Heating & Lighting Control also shows a substantial presence at 31.7% of the portfolio, the company appears to be exploring new avenues, as evidenced by the rapid 75.0% year-over-year growth in Drug Delivery Devices patents in 2025, suggesting a potential diversification into the medical device sector.
