Company patents

Piaggio & C. S.p.A.

PIAGGIO & C. S.P.A's patent strategy reveals a surprising lack of concentrated focus, with its largest category, Vehicle Powertrain Arrangement, representing only 7.3% of its portfolio and showing a significant decline of -100.0% so far in 2026. While categories like Gearing & Transmissions and Couplings & Brakes (Mechanical) saw strong growth in 2024, their subsequent sharp declines in 2025 and 2026 (both -100.0% so far) suggest a shifting and inconsistent priority across its traditional automotive and manufacturing sectors.
