Company patents

SAAB AB

SAAB AB's patent strategy reveals a surprising, albeit fluctuating, focus on Antennas, which constitutes 28.3% of its portfolio and saw a remarkable +333.3% YoY growth in 2024 before declining, while its traditional Aircraft Equipment category has seen a complete cessation of new patents in 2025 and so far in 2026, indicating a significant shift in R&D priorities away from core aerospace hardware.
