Company patents

TRINAMIX GMBH

TRINAMIX GMBH's patent strategy reveals a strong and sustained focus on Computer Vision, which constitutes 33.5% of its portfolio and saw remarkable growth of +433.3% in 2024 and +93.8% in 2025, alongside Image Processing (27.3% of portfolio) with a +600.0% YoY increase in 2024. While there's an emerging focus on Computer Security, which experienced a significant +650.0% YoY growth in 2025, the company appears to be shifting away from Photovoltaic Cells (Legacy CPC) and Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, with both categories showing a -100.0% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026.
