Company patents

ONO PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD.

ONO PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD. demonstrates a core focus on "Pharmaceutical Preparations" (63.8% of its portfolio) and "Heterocyclic Compounds (Pharma)" (53.6%), with both categories showing a significant decline in patenting activity so far in 2026, down 68.8% and 63.6% respectively, after a strong 60.0% growth in "Pharmaceutical Preparations" in 2025. While "Acyclic / Carbocyclic Compounds" showed rapid growth of 100.0% year-over-year in both 2024 and 2025, it represents a smaller portion of their portfolio (11.6%) and has also seen a sharp decline so far in 2026.
