Company patents

TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN

TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN's patent strategy appears highly diversified across numerous fields, with its largest category, Physical Transmission & Modulation, representing only 13.0% of its total portfolio. A surprising trend is the significant decline in patenting across most categories in 2026 so far, with several experiencing a 100.0% year-over-year decrease from 2025, suggesting a potential shift in focus or a lag in current year data.
