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.
