Company patents
The Raymond Corporation
The Raymond Corporation's patent strategy reveals a surprising re-emphasis on Electric Vehicle Propulsion, with a 100.0% year-over-year growth in 2026 (so far) after a complete decline in 2024, indicating a renewed focus on this automotive sector. While Industrial & Autonomous Control remains its largest category at 24.7% of its portfolio, the company appears to be shifting away from Wireless Networks and Radar / Sonar / Lidar, both experiencing a 100.0% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026.
