Company patents
KNAUF INSULATION SPRL
KNAUF INSULATION SPRL's patent strategy reveals a strong historical focus on materials science, with Polymer Compositions (50.7% of portfolio) and Glass & Glass-Ceramics (37.7%) dominating, both experiencing significant growth in 2024 (72.7% and 142.9% YoY respectively). However, a surprising and dramatic shift occurred in 2025, with all major categories seeing steep declines (e.g., Glass & Glass-Ceramics down 88.2% YoY, Building Construction Elements down 100% YoY), indicating a substantial re-prioritization or slowdown in patenting activity, which has continued so far in 2026.
