Company patents
Limagrain Europe S.A.
Limagrain Europe S.A. exhibits an overwhelming focus on agricultural innovation, with 96.7% of its patent portfolio in New Plants / Plant Reproduction, which saw a significant surge in 2024 with 12 patents (a +71.4% YoY increase) before a sharp decline in 2025. Surprisingly, despite its agricultural core, the company has almost entirely deprioritized its minimal ventures into pharma_biotech, with Peptides & Proteins and Genetic & Microbiological Assays each representing only 3.3% of the portfolio and showing a complete cessation of new patenting activity since 2023.
