Company patents

AutoStore Technology AS

AutoStore Technology AS's patent strategy is overwhelmingly focused on "Conveying & Handling," which constitutes 96.1% of its portfolio and saw a significant 34.4% YoY growth in 2025, indicating a deepening commitment to its core automation technologies. Surprisingly, despite this core focus, the company also shows an emerging interest in "Business Methods & Fintech," which experienced a remarkable 266.7% YoY growth in 2025, suggesting a diversification into software or financial aspects of its logistics solutions, though patenting in 2026 for most categories, including "Conveying & Handling" (52 patents so far in 2026), appears to be a partial year's data.
