Company patents
RATIER-FIGEAC SAS
RATIER-FIGEAC SAS's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in aerospace, with "Aircraft & Aerodynamics" representing 58.6% of its portfolio and experiencing a significant surge in 2025 with 24 patents (YoY +118.2%), suggesting a strong and renewed focus in this core area. Surprisingly, despite this aerospace emphasis, the company shows a clear decline in several manufacturing-related categories, such as "Couplings & Brakes (Mechanical)" which saw a -66.7% YoY decline in 2025 and no patents so far in 2026, indicating a shifting priority away from these mechanical components.
