Company patents
HOMAG GmbH
HOMAG GmbH's patent strategy reveals a surprising focus on "Printers & Typewriters," which accounts for 22.9% of its portfolio, despite a significant decline of -25.0% in 2025 and no patents so far in 2026. Concurrently, the company appears to be shifting priorities away from "Industrial Control Systems" and "Conveying & Handling," both of which saw substantial declines in 2025, with "Industrial Control Systems" dropping by -25.0% and "Conveying & Handling" by -100.0%.
