Company patents
Kistler Holding AG
Kistler Holding AG's patent strategy reveals a strong, consistent focus on Force / Pressure Measurement, which constitutes 45.9% of its portfolio and has seen robust growth of +33.3% in 2024 and again so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite its core manufacturing focus, the company shows a rapidly emerging interest in Temperature Measurement, with a +100.0% growth in 2026 (so far), while Plastics Shaping & Molding appears to be a shifting priority, declining by -100.0% in 2026 after a significant +100.0% increase in 2025.

Systems and sensors designed to measure the pressure difference between two distinct points or to capture rapid, transient pressure fluctuations in fluid or gas systems, often using diaphragms or pistons.
Measures force or pressure by detecting changes in electrical capacitance. This typically involves the deformation of a dielectric material or the relative movement of conductive plates, altering the distance or area between them.
Sensors that quantify strain or deformation by measuring the change in electrical resistance of a material, such as a semiconductor film or conductive layers, as it undergoes mechanical stress.
Devices and methodologies for precisely measuring rotational force (torque) or linear pulling force (tension) within mechanical systems, frequently incorporating compensation for environmental variables like temperature.
Methods and devices for integrating temperature sensors directly into materials, structures, or challenging environments (e.g., hydrogen tanks, concrete, ocean) to measure internal or localized temperatures.
Sensors and systems designed to detect and quantify localized contact forces, pressure distribution, or touch interactions, often employed in robotics, human-machine interfaces, or object manipulation applications.
Systems and methods designed to improve the accuracy, reliability, or operational range of sensors and electronic components by measuring temperature and applying corrections or adjustments.
Utilizes optical fibers, often incorporating Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), to detect changes in strain, pressure, or temperature based on modifications to light signals (e.g., wavelength shifts, phase changes) transmitted through the fiber.
Methods and equipment for continuously shaping plastic materials by forcing them through a die, often involving screw extruders, heating elements, and downstream calibration.
Processes involving the application of heat and pressure to shape thermoplastic or elastomeric materials, often using molds or presses, to achieve specific forms or material properties.
Techniques for measuring, monitoring, and compensating for temperature variations within semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, or photonic components to maintain performance, prevent degradation, and ensure reliability across operating conditions.
Methods and devices that determine the position, angle, or distance of an object by detecting changes in magnetic fields or inductive coupling.
Systems and methods that utilize optical fibers as sensing elements or for transmitting sensing signals, often for distributed monitoring of environmental conditions, phase changes, or integrating sensing with communication.
