Company patents

Ferring B.V.

Ferring B.V. demonstrates a highly concentrated patent strategy, with an overwhelming 90.6% of its portfolio in "Pharmaceutical Preparations," which saw a 21.4% YoY growth in 2024 and 11.8% in 2025, indicating a sustained focus, despite a partial year decline of 57.9% so far in 2026. While "Therapeutic Activity (Pharma)" also represents a significant 35.9% of its portfolio, the company appears to be shifting priorities away from "Medical Diagnostics & Surgery" and "General Organic Chemistry Methods," which have seen significant declines or zero patent activity in recent years.
