Company patents
Jungheinrich Aktiengesellschaft
Jungheinrich Aktiengesellschaft, despite its core focus on "Conveying & Handling" (31.5% of its portfolio), shows a surprising and significant patent activity in "Horticulture & Forestry," accounting for 15.1% of its portfolio, even with a 50.0% decline so far in 2026. While "Conveying & Handling" saw a strong rebound with a 100.0% YoY growth in 2026, the company's patent strategy appears to be shifting away from several areas, including a 100.0% YoY decline in "Business Methods & Fintech" and "Containers & Packaging" so far in 2026.
