Company patents

ZEALAND PHARMA A/S

ZEALAND PHARMA A/S's patent strategy is heavily concentrated in Pharmaceutical Preparations, representing 95.5% of its portfolio, yet patenting in this core area has seen a significant decline of -75.0% so far in 2026. While Peptides & Proteins remains a substantial focus at 68.2% of its portfolio, the complete absence of new patents in Therapeutic Activity (Pharma) so far in 2026, following a -42.9% decline in 2024, suggests a notable shift away from this area.
