Company patents

SOCIÉTÉ BIC

SOCIÉTÉ BIC's patent strategy reveals a surprising, yet declining, focus on computing technologies, with categories like Input/Output & User Interfaces (13.2% of portfolio) and Computer Vision (9.9% of portfolio) showing significant year-over-year declines in 2026 (e.g., -100.0% and -75.0% respectively so far in 2026). While Coating Compositions remains their largest category at 31.6% of the portfolio, it also experienced a -36.4% decline in 2026, indicating a broad shift away from recent patenting activity across their portfolio.
