Company patents
AMS AG
AMS AG's patent strategy shows a surprising shift away from its historically strong areas, with significant declines across nearly all categories. For example, Radar / Sonar / Lidar, its largest category at 23.5% of the portfolio, saw a -100.0% decline in 2026 so far, mirroring similar sharp drops in Photovoltaic Cells (Legacy CPC) (-100.0% in 2025) and Electrical Measurement (-100.0% in 2025), indicating a broad reprioritization or divestment of R&D efforts.
