DECATHLON
DECATHLON's patent strategy reveals a surprising focus on Footwear, which constitutes 12.4% of its portfolio, despite a recent decline of 66.7% in 2026 so far. While categories like Sports Equipment and Outerwear & Apparel show some activity, the company's overall patenting appears sporadic across its smaller categories, with several experiencing significant year-over-year declines, such as Buildings (Specially Adapted) and Plastic Articles (Specific) both dropping 100.0% in 2026.
