Company patents
SOCIÉTÉ BIC
SOCIÉTÉ BIC's patent strategy reveals a surprising, yet significant, investment in computing technologies, with categories like Input/Output & User Interfaces (13.4% of portfolio) and Computer Vision (10.1% of portfolio) representing substantial portions, despite a general decline in patenting activity across most categories in 2026 so far. While traditional materials science, particularly Coating Compositions (Paints, Inks), remains its largest category at 30.2% of the portfolio, its -54.5% decline in 2026 indicates a shifting focus away from this core area.
