Company patents
Wobben Properties GmbH
Wobben Properties GmbH's patent strategy reveals a surprising and significant shift away from its core "Wind Motors / Turbines" category, which constitutes 82.7% of its portfolio but has seen a sharp decline of -69.9% in 2025 and -64.0% so far in 2026. While most categories show declining patent activity, the "Motor Control" category stands out with a 100.0% YoY growth in 2026 (though with only 2 patents so far), suggesting a potential, albeit small, emerging focus amidst a broader trend of reduced patenting across its traditional areas.
