Company patents
The Noco Company
The Noco Company's patent strategy shows a surprising shift away from its core Power Distribution & Storage, which constitutes 39.0% of its portfolio but has seen a significant decline of 27.3% in 2025 and 62.5% so far in 2026. While Electric Vehicle Propulsion had a strong 50.0% growth in 2024, the overall trend across most categories, including Batteries & Fuel Cells and Electrical Connectors, indicates a broad reduction in patenting activity in 2025 and so far in 2026.
