Company patents

Leer Group

Leer Group's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core automotive focus, with its largest category, Vehicle Steering & Bodies, experiencing a significant decline of 50.0% in 2025 and 75.0% so far in 2026. This trend is further underscored by the complete cessation of patenting in Locks & Keys so far in 2026, indicating a broader re-evaluation of its intellectual property priorities.
