Company patents
LM Wind Power A/S
LM WIND POWER A/S, as expected, heavily focuses on "Wind Motors / Turbines" (75.8% of its portfolio), yet its patenting in this core area saw a significant decline of 45.8% in 2025 and 38.5% so far in 2026 after a surge in 2024. Surprisingly, despite its energy focus, the company shows a strong, albeit also declining, emphasis on manufacturing processes like "Plastics Shaping & Molding" (41.1% of portfolio) and "Plastic Articles (Specific)" (20.5% of portfolio), indicating a deep integration of material science and manufacturing innovation within its wind energy solutions.
