Company patents
Repligen Corporation
Repligen Corporation's patent strategy appears to be undergoing a significant shift, with a notable decline across its historically strong categories. While Separation Processes (Filtration, Distillation) still constitutes 41.5% of its portfolio, it has seen a consistent decline, including a -25.0% YoY drop so far in 2026, and Bioreactors / Cell Culture Apparatus, representing 35.4% of its portfolio, has seen a dramatic -100.0% YoY decline in 2026, indicating a potential re-evaluation of core R&D focus.
