Company patents
Shining 3D Tech Co., Ltd.
Shining 3D Tech Co., Ltd. demonstrates a surprising dual focus, with 63.1% of its portfolio in Image Processing and a significant 46.2% in Dentistry, indicating a strong commitment to applying imaging technologies within the dental sector. While Image Processing and Computer Vision show consistent growth, the rapid emergence of Dentistry patents, with a 37.5% YoY increase in 2025, highlights an accelerating push into medical device applications, contrasting with a sharp decline in Length / Distance Measurement patents (down 100% in 2026 so far) and a fluctuating interest in Pictorial / Video Communications.
