Company patents
KÖRBER TECHNOLOGIES GMBH
KÖRBER TECHNOLOGIES GMBH's patent strategy reveals a significant shift away from its historical focus on Smoking Articles, which, despite representing 50.8% of its portfolio, has seen a sharp decline in new patents, with a -83.3% YoY drop so far in 2026. Concurrently, the company is rapidly emerging in Material Handling (Sheets, Webs), showing a robust 33.3% YoY growth in 2026, and made a substantial entry into Batteries & Fuel Cells in 2025 with 12 patents, indicating a strategic pivot towards new industrial and energy technologies.
