Company patents

KTM AG

KTM AG's patent strategy appears to be highly diversified across various automotive and manufacturing sub-sectors, with no single category dominating its portfolio. While categories like Gearing & Transmissions, Vehicle Lighting & Signaling, and Vehicle Brake Systems each represent around 4-6% of its portfolio, it's notable that several categories, including Gearing & Transmissions, Vehicle Lighting & Signaling, and Traffic Control Systems, show a 100% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift in focus, though Vehicle Control Systems has seen an emerging focus with its first patent in 2026.

Reduction of the risk of collision with an obscured motor vehicle

Filed:2021-05-14Pub:2025-08-12
Applicant:Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft

Technologies and techniques for reducing a collision risk between a first motor vehicle and a second motor vehicle. At least a first vehicle-to-environment message is transmitted by the first motor vehicle and received by the second motor vehicle. Using a second computing unit of the second motor vehicle, it is determined, depending on the vehicle-to-environment message, whether a risk situation exists in which the first motor vehicle is obscured by a preceding third motor vehicle. The second computing unit executes a criticality analysis to determine that the risk situation exists and, depending on the result of the criticality analysis, a risk-reducing measure is initiated.
