HAHN-SCHICKARD-GESELLSCHAFT FÜR ANGEWANDTE FORSCHUNG E. V.
HAHN-SCHICKARD-GESELLSCHAFT FÜR ANGEWANDTE FORSCHUNG E. V. exhibits a surprising patent strategy, with a significant focus on Material & Chemical Analysis (28.6% of portfolio) and Laboratory Apparatus (26.2% of portfolio), yet both categories show a sharp decline in 2026 so far, with Material & Chemical Analysis dropping by 100.0% and Laboratory Apparatus by 50.0% after a 200.0% growth in 2025. This suggests a potential shift away from these core areas, despite their historical dominance, with many other categories also showing 100.0% declines so far in 2026.
