Company patents

SUMITOMO ELECTRIC PRINTED CIRCUITS, INC.

SUMITOMO ELECTRIC PRINTED CIRCUITS, INC. surprisingly maintains a highly concentrated patent strategy, with 92.3% of its portfolio in "Printed Circuits & Electronic Assemblies," despite a notable 40.0% decline in patenting activity in this core area so far in 2026. While "Magnets & Inductors" shows an emerging focus with a 50.0% growth in 2026, the company appears to be shifting away from "Layered Products (Laminates, Films)" and "Batteries & Fuel Cells," both experiencing a 100.0% decline in patenting activity so far this year.
