Company patents

Metso Finland Oy

Metso Finland Oy's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift, with a significant focus on "Separation Processes (Filtration, Distillation)" which constitutes 28.8% of its portfolio and saw a remarkable 400.0% growth in 2025, despite a -50.0% decline so far in 2026, indicating a potential re-evaluation or completion of a specific project cycle within this key area. Concurrently, the company appears to be deprioritizing several other categories, with "Water / Sewage Treatment," "Compounds Containing Metals," and "Non-metallic Inorganic Compounds" all experiencing a -100.0% decline in patenting activity in 2025.
