Company patents
OP-HYGIENE IP GMBH
OP-HYGIENE IP GMBH's patent strategy appears to be shifting away from its core focus on Spraying & Atomizing, which represents 25.0% of its portfolio but saw a 33.3% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite a broad decline in many categories in 2026, the company shows an emerging focus on Sterilization & Biocompatible Materials, with a 100.0% year-over-year growth in patent filings so far this year, suggesting a strategic pivot towards medical device innovation.

Spraying devices designed to handle, mix, or independently dispense multiple distinct fluid components, often with mechanisms for selection, blending, or sequential application.
Systems specifically engineered to use sprayed liquids or aerosols for cleaning surfaces, removing residues, or distributing disinfectants in various environments.
Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.
Innovations in nozzle internal geometry, actuation, or multi-fluid mixing to achieve specific spray patterns, droplet sizes, or performance characteristics, especially for challenging fluids or conditions.
Design and engineering solutions for creating self-contained, mobile, or miniaturized pump systems, often incorporating battery power, ergonomic features, and integrated components for ease of use and transport.
Systems and methods for accurately controlling the volume, location, and characteristics of sprayed fluids, often involving sensors, feedback, or specific nozzle geometries for precise application.
Innovations in the construction, integration, and operational verification of flow measurement devices, including methods for calibration, fault detection, and structural integrity monitoring.
Systems that utilize light, displays, or augmented reality to provide warnings, guidance, or to deter unwanted actions, often involving adjustable light patterns or directional indicators for enhanced effectiveness.
Design and implementation of capacitive sensors, including methods for improving accuracy, reducing power consumption, compensating for environmental variations (like temperature), and analyzing complex displacement interactions.
Devices and methods for the regulated delivery, preservation, and emission of volatile chemical agents, often for fragrance or therapeutic purposes, within various environments or containers.
Techniques and systems for optimizing pump operation, including capacity modulation, energy management, pulsation reduction, and precise fluid dispensing to improve performance and reduce energy consumption.
Mixing apparatus designed for integration directly into a fluid conduit or a continuous process stream, often employing static elements, impellers within a flow path, or multi-component injection for efficient, uninterrupted processing.
Integration of optical sensors, particularly for biometrics or other surface interactions, beneath a display or protective cover, requiring specialized optical paths, illumination, and packaging.
