Company patents
Fondazione Istituto Italiano Di Tecnologia
FONDAZIONE ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA exhibits a broad patent strategy, with its largest focus in Pharmaceutical Preparations (16.1% of portfolio) despite a significant decline of -71.4% so far in 2026. Surprisingly, while Therapeutic Activity (Pharma) saw rapid growth of +150.0% in 2025, it has seen a complete halt in patenting activity so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift in priorities within its pharma-biotech endeavors.
