Company patents

DECATHLON

DECATHLON's patent strategy reveals a surprising lack of dominant focus in any single category, with its largest segment, Footwear, representing only 12.6% of its 87-patent portfolio and showing a significant decline of -66.7% so far in 2026. While categories like Buildings (Specially Adapted) and Plastic Articles (Specific) have seen sharp drops of -100.0% in patenting activity in 2026, the company appears to be exploring diverse, albeit small, areas with recent activity in Outerwear & Apparel (1 patent in 2026) and Sports Equipment (2 patents in 2026).
