Company patents
Coty Inc.
Coty Inc.'s patent strategy reveals a surprising dual focus, with "Pharmaceutical Preparations" (69.0% of portfolio) being nearly as prominent as "Cosmetics & Personal Care Use" (66.7%), both showing strong growth in 2024 (YoY +42.9% and +66.7% respectively) before leveling off in 2025. While core categories dominate, the emergence of "Personal Care Articles" with a 200.0% YoY growth in 2025 suggests a shifting priority towards product innovation, alongside a nascent interest in "Bioinformatics," "Computer Vision," and "Business Methods & Fintech" with one patent each so far in 2026, indicating a potential future diversification into tech-driven solutions.

Technologies focused on encapsulating active ingredients or fragrances to control their release, enhance their substantivity, or improve their stability and efficacy in personal care products.
Devices and systems that utilize sensors, AI, robotics, or advanced delivery mechanisms (e.g., electrostatic spraying) to precisely apply cosmetic substances, control application parameters, or personalize formulations based on user data.
Innovations in creating stable cosmetic formulations, particularly oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, and developing novel stabilizers or rheology modifiers for desired texture, feel, and shelf-life.
Innovative designs for cosmetic containers and dispensing systems that feature modular components, integrated applicators, reusability, or enhanced mechanisms for storing and delivering multiple cosmetic products.
Formulations and active ingredients designed to counteract signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, or to promote skin repair and regeneration through specific biological mechanisms.
Systems and methods for accurately controlling the volume, location, and characteristics of sprayed fluids, often involving sensors, feedback, or specific nozzle geometries for precise application.
Spraying devices designed to handle, mix, or independently dispense multiple distinct fluid components, often with mechanisms for selection, blending, or sequential application.
Compositions specifically developed for maintaining oral hygiene, preventing dental issues like cavities and gingivitis, and improving cosmetic aspects such as teeth whitening.
Development of personal care compositions that achieve effective cleansing and conditioning benefits while avoiding harsh sulfated surfactants, often using alternative, milder surfactant systems.
Systems that use user data, preferences, and machine learning to generate tailored advice, product recommendations, goal-setting plans, or contextual information for individuals across different domains.
Systems and devices that leverage digital imaging, light-based curing, and automation for precise nail decoration, treatment, or guided application, often with self-service or mobile integration.
Systems specifically engineered to use sprayed liquids or aerosols for cleaning surfaces, removing residues, or distributing disinfectants in various environments.
Chemical compositions and methods for stimulating hair growth, altering hair structure for styling (e.g., straightening, curling, dyeing), or protecting hair from environmental damage and heat.
Integrated systems for automatically dispensing, mixing, and often packaging multiple components to create a final product, frequently incorporating sensors and control for quality, customization, and unattended operation.
