Company patents
SOS LAB Co., Ltd.
SOS LAB Co., Ltd. demonstrates a highly concentrated patent strategy, with 83.0% of its portfolio in Radar / Sonar / Lidar, which saw a significant 50.0% growth in 2025, indicating a strong and sustained focus despite a partial decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, while core areas like Computer Vision and Traffic Control Systems have seen sharp declines (e.g., -100.0% in 2026 for both), the company is showing an emerging interest in Vehicle Body Fittings, with a 100.0% growth in 2026 so far, suggesting a potential diversification within the automotive sector.
