Company patents
FNV IP B.V.
FNV IP B.V. demonstrates a clear emerging focus on Radar / Sonar / Lidar, which constitutes nearly 30% of its portfolio and saw a 33.3% year-over-year growth in 2026 so far, following a 100.0% growth in 2025. Surprisingly, despite its strong presence in communication technologies, the company shows a shifting priority in Navigation & Geodesy, experiencing a significant 60.0% decline in patenting activity in 2026 so far, after robust growth in prior years.
