Company patents
SAIPEM S.P.A.
Saipem S.P.A.'s patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from core energy and manufacturing areas, with Drilling & Mining patents declining by 100.0% year-over-year in 2026 (so far) and Welding & Soldering also seeing a 100.0% decline. While Pipes & Tubing remains its largest category at 37.2% of its portfolio, the company is showing an emerging focus on Separation Processes (Filtration, Distillation), which experienced a 300.0% growth in 2025, suggesting a pivot towards materials processing technologies.
