Company patents
i4F Licensing NV
i4F Licensing NV's patent strategy is surprisingly diversified beyond its core materials focus, with an emerging interest in Business Methods & Fintech and Data Recognition (Barcodes, OCR), both experiencing 200.0% and 100.0% YoY growth respectively in 2025, despite their small share of the total portfolio (2.9% each). While Layered Products (Laminates, Films) remains dominant at 33.3% of its portfolio, its significant decline of -70.8% so far in 2026 suggests a potential shift in focus or a temporary slowdown in filings within this key area.
