Company patents
Weber-Stephen Products LLC
Weber-Stephen Products LLC's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in Kitchen Equipment, representing 68.3% of its portfolio, yet this core area has seen significant fluctuations, including a -42.3% decline in patent grants so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite its consumer focus, the company is showing an emerging interest in manufacturing-related Temperature Measurement, with a 100.0% year-over-year growth in 2026, while areas like Electric Heating & Lighting Control and Foods & Beverages appear to be shifting priorities with -100.0% and 0% YoY respectively in 2026.

Equipment designed with interchangeable, attachable, or configurable components, allowing for flexible setup, expansion, or integration of cooking, serving, and storage units.
Appliances and containers designed for specific cooking methods (e.g., air frying, sous vide), automated food preparation, or temperature-controlled storage and transport to maintain food quality.
Methods and devices for integrating temperature sensors directly into materials, structures, or challenging environments (e.g., hydrogen tanks, concrete, ocean) to measure internal or localized temperatures.
Blenders, mixers, and cooking appliances featuring intelligent controls, load sensing, or specialized agitation mechanisms to optimize food processing, achieve desired consistency, and enhance performance.
Temperature sensing systems integrated into wearable devices or medical apparatus for monitoring physiological conditions, such as inflammation detection, often utilizing differential temperature measurements.
Design of power driver circuits for electric loads (e.g., LEDs, heating elements) focusing on efficiency, stability, noise reduction, and compensation for component degradation.
Techniques for efficiently supplying power to electronic devices, managing battery charge/discharge cycles, optimizing power consumption, and converting power between different voltage levels or AC/DC for improved energy efficiency and longevity.
Systems that integrate temperature sensors with wireless communication modules and network platforms (e.g., cloud) for remote data collection, analysis, and indication, often for distributed or mobile assets.
