Company patents
FLEXIV LTD.
FLEXIV LTD. demonstrates a highly concentrated patent strategy, with an overwhelming 80.8% of its portfolio (42 patents) dedicated to Manipulators & Robotics, a category that saw a significant 200.0% growth in 2024. While this core area experienced a 62.5% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026, it's surprising to see a complete cessation of patenting in several smaller categories like Force / Pressure Measurement and Gearing & Transmissions in 2026, indicating a potential consolidation of R&D efforts.
