Company patents

SK enpulse Co., Ltd.

SK enpulse Co., Ltd. demonstrates a strong, albeit potentially shifting, focus on semiconductor manufacturing, with Semiconductor Manufacturing Process accounting for 52.2% of its portfolio and Grinding & Polishing for 42.4%, both showing significant growth in 2024 (77.8% YoY) and 2025 (31.2% and -18.8% respectively), but a sharp decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite its core semiconductor focus, the company saw an emerging focus in Functional Materials (LCD, Lubricants) with a remarkable 400.0% YoY growth in 2025, while Polymer Working & Compounding appears to be a rapidly shifting priority with a -66.7% decline in 2025 and no patents so far in 2026.
