Company patents
TEIJIN LIMITED
TEIJIN LIMITED's patent strategy reveals a strong, sustained focus on "Batteries & Fuel Cells," which accounts for 26.8% of its portfolio and saw consistent growth in 2024 (+9.1%) and 2025 (+16.7%), despite a partial decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, while core materials categories like "Polymer Synthesis (Polycondensation)" and "Polymer Additives" showed significant year-over-year fluctuations, with "Polymer Additives" experiencing a remarkable 500.0% growth in 2025, the company appears to be shifting away from "Polymer Working & Compounding," which saw a 100.0% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026.
