Company patents
SCHOTT Pharma AG & Co. KGaA
SCHOTT Pharma AG & Co. KGaA's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in "Pharmacy Containers / Devices," which constitutes 58.1% of its portfolio, yet saw a significant decline of 81.8% in patent filings so far in 2026 after a 120.0% surge in 2025. While "Drug Delivery Devices" remains a core focus at 30.2% of the portfolio, the company shows a surprising, albeit smaller, interest in "Containers & Packaging" (23.3% of portfolio), which experienced a 100.0% growth in 2024, indicating a potential broadening beyond purely pharmaceutical-specific containment.

Containers or packaging components featuring active mechanisms for controlled release, preparation, or delivery of their contents, such as liquids, bulk materials, volatile compounds, or single-serve portions.
Devices and adapters that enable the sterile and secure transfer of liquids, such as medications or diluents, between containers (vials, syringes, IV bags) while minimizing exposure to contaminants or air.
Methods and apparatuses for creating unique package structures, such as recesses in specific materials, blister packages, or single-dose units, and for controlled dispensing of products from storage into these containers.
Multi-layer polymer films engineered to provide superior barrier properties against gases (e.g., oxygen), moisture, or aromas, often incorporating heat-sealing or resealing mechanisms for food and product preservation.
Delivery systems specifically engineered to administer advanced drug formulations (e.g., microparticles, biologics, extended-release systems) to achieve precise targeting, controlled release kinetics, or enhanced therapeutic efficacy within the body.
Application of coatings, layers, or chemical treatments to the surface of glass articles to impart specific functionalities such as UV blocking, anti-whitening, hydrophobicity, or adhesion for subsequent layers.
Methods and apparatus for disinfecting or sterilizing medical devices, waste, or environments, often employing radiation, chemical agents, or thermal processes, and including monitoring systems.
Methods and systems for real-time monitoring and control of coating processes or chamber cleaning, utilizing sensor data (e.g., thermal, pressure, optical) and predictive models to ensure quality and optimize efficiency.
Design and manufacturing of multi-pane glass units with an evacuated gap and specialized sealing technologies to provide superior thermal insulation for architectural or appliance applications.
Thin, multi-layered films and structures specifically designed for electronic applications, including flexible substrates for devices, display panel components, and active material layers for battery electrodes.
Glass articles treated with ion exchange or other chemical processes to induce a surface compressive stress layer, enhancing mechanical strength, scratch resistance, and impact toughness.
Development of specific glass compositions, such as phosphate glasses, for use as active materials or electrolytes in energy storage devices like metal-ion accumulators and batteries.
