Company patents

Supernal, LLC

Supernal, LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising diversification beyond its core aerospace focus, with significant activity in Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, which saw a 100.0% YoY growth in 2026 so far, despite its relatively small 8.2% share of the portfolio. While Aircraft Equipment and Aircraft & Aerodynamics remain dominant at 51.0% and 36.7% respectively, the company is shifting priorities, as indicated by the sharp decline in Non-portable Lighting Devices and Electric Heating & Lighting Control, both experiencing a -100.0% YoY drop in 2026 so far.
