Company patents
STANLEY ELECTRIC CO., LTD.
STANLEY ELECTRIC CO., LTD. shows a surprising, strong emerging focus on Water / Sewage Treatment, with an impressive 300.0% year-over-year growth in 2025, despite it being a small 3.4% of their total portfolio. While traditional areas like Non-portable Lighting Devices (33.0% of portfolio) and Vehicle Lighting & Signaling (21.1% of portfolio) remain significant, the complete absence of patents in LED & Optoelectronics (Legacy CPC) and Multi-Chip & 3D Assemblies so far in 2026 suggests a potential shift away from these areas, with a 100.0% decline in both categories from 2025.
