Company patents

BEIERSDORF AG

BEIERSDORF AG's patent strategy reveals a surprising dual focus on "Pharmaceutical Preparations" (94.9% of portfolio) and "Cosmetics & Personal Care Use" (86.1% of portfolio), with both categories showing a significant decline in patenting activity so far in 2026, dropping by 50.0% and 50.0% respectively compared to 2025. This indicates a potential shift in R&D priorities, especially given the consistent decline in "Containers & Packaging" (YoY -100.0% in 2026) and "Personal Care Articles" (YoY -100.0% in 2025).
