Company patents
GRAMMER AG
GRAMMER AG's patent strategy reveals a strong, albeit fluctuating, focus on its core 'Vehicle Seats & Accommodations' category, which represents 82.0% of its portfolio, despite a -39.1% YoY decline in 2024 and -57.1% in 2025 before a 16.7% increase so far in 2026. Surprisingly, while 'Vehicle Body Fittings' saw a dramatic 200.0% YoY increase in 2025, its complete absence of patents so far in 2026 suggests a highly erratic or shifting priority in this area, alongside a re-emergence in 'Furniture (Chairs, Beds)' with 2 patents so far in 2026 after two years of no activity.

Methods, tools, and component designs that facilitate the efficient and robust manufacturing, assembly, and attachment of vehicle seat structures, covers, and internal mechanisms.
Seat designs and mechanisms that allow for dynamic adjustment, folding, removal, or repositioning of seats or seat components to adapt to various passenger, cargo, or vehicle usage scenarios.
Integration of mechanisms, sensors, and actuators to provide dynamic adjustments for user comfort, such as lumbar support, reclining positions, massage functions, or controlled movement.
Devices and structural elements within the vehicle cabin or attached to the vehicle body designed to organize, secure, or support various articles, equipment, or even pets, often featuring customizable compartments or robust attachment mechanisms.
Non-core functionalities or convenience items directly integrated into or associated with vehicle seats, such as adjustable pillows, fitness devices, audio systems, or tray tables.
Safety features built into or around vehicle seats to protect occupants during various accident scenarios, including airbags, pre-crash positioning, and blast attenuation.
Technologies specifically designed for securing children in vehicles, including child safety seats, impact absorption features, and mechanisms to ensure correct installation or detect misuse.
Integrated systems within vehicle seats that provide heating, cooling, ventilation, or air treatment (e.g., scenting) to enhance occupant comfort and well-being.
Chairs and seating systems specifically designed for particular environments or user needs, such as medical procedures, physical therapy, or accessibility, often incorporating specialized features for safety, mobility, or support.
Systems and methods for detecting the presence, position, characteristics (e.g., weight, pressure, contact area), or state of vehicle occupants, often used for safety, comfort, or system control.
Design and integration of bearings within larger mechanical systems or devices, focusing on mounting structures, housing, endplay management, and overall assembly for specific applications.
Improvements to the internal components and configurations of rolling element bearings, such as cage designs, separator materials, raceway geometry, or adjustable elements, to enhance performance or lifespan.
Engineering solutions for optimizing the acoustic performance and mechanical stability of loudspeakers, including diaphragm materials, spider geometries, vibration suppression, and integration into other devices.
Bearings that utilize a pressurized gas or liquid film to create a non-contact support surface, reducing friction and wear, often incorporating specific flow restriction or airfoil designs.
Techniques for combining multiple materials or layers, often with specialized surface treatments, coatings, or assembly methods, to create functional or aesthetically enhanced plastic articles, including consumer goods and encapsulated electronics.
