Company patents
dormakaba Schweiz AG
dormakaba Schweiz AG's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core "Time / Attendance / Access Control" and "Locks & Keys" categories, which together constitute 84.6% of its portfolio but have seen declines of 37.5% and 50.0% respectively so far in 2026. While there was an emerging focus on "Computer Vision" with a 200.0% growth in 2025, the overall trend in 2026 so far indicates a broad decline across most categories, including a 100.0% drop in "Wireless Networks" and "Computer Vision" patenting activity.
