According to GlobalData’s company profile on AGC, Hydrogen fuel cells was a key innovation area identified from patents. AGC's grant share as of January 2024 was 32%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.

A water and oil repellent composition has been patented, comprising a polymer with specific monomer units. The composition includes monomers (a), (b), and (c) in specific ratios, with monomer (a) represented by a compound with certain characteristics, monomer (b) represented by a perfluoroalkyl group, and monomer (c) being a carboxylic acid vinyl ester. The polymer may also include another copolymerizable monomer (d). The composition's components must meet certain molar ratios to achieve the desired water and oil repellent properties.

Additionally, a method for producing the water and oil repellent composition has been patented, involving polymerizing a monomer component in the presence of a polymerization initiator. The monomer component includes monomers (a), (b), and (c) in specific ratios, with monomer (a) represented by a compound with defined characteristics, monomer (b) represented by a perfluoroalkyl group, and monomer (c) being a carboxylic acid vinyl ester. The method also allows for the inclusion of another copolymerizable monomer (d) and requires specific molar ratios of the monomers to achieve the desired repellent properties. Articles treated with this composition are also covered by the patent.
