Company patents
LEDVANCE GMBH
LEDVANCE GMBH's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core lighting control and device areas, with "Electric Heating & Lighting Control" declining by 33.3% in 2025 and "Lighting Devices (Functional Features)" by 46.2% in the same year, despite these categories still representing over 80% of its portfolio. Concurrently, the company is exploring new avenues in communication technologies, as evidenced by a significant 200.0% year-over-year growth in "Network Management & Monitoring" in 2026 so far, indicating an emerging focus on integrated smart lighting solutions.
