Company patents
BAYER CROPSCIENCE LP
BAYER CROPSCIENCE LP's patent strategy reveals a strong, albeit shifting, focus on agriculture, with Biocides & Pesticides dominating 72.2% of its portfolio despite a significant -87.5% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026. Surprisingly, the company has also shown intermittent interest in pharma_biotech, particularly with a surge of 6 patents in Pharmaceutical Preparations in 2024, followed by a complete cessation in 2025 and 2026, indicating a highly dynamic and perhaps opportunistic approach outside its core agricultural domain.

Development and application of living organisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses) or their natural derivatives (e.g., peptides, plant extracts) as agents to suppress or eliminate agricultural pests, weeds, or plant diseases.
Innovation in chemical compounds or optimized formulations specifically designed to control or inhibit the growth of unwanted plants (weeds) in agricultural settings, often with improved selectivity or reduced environmental impact.
Methods and compositions that stimulate a plant's natural defense mechanisms or improve its physiological resilience against pathogens, pests, or environmental stressors, rather than directly eliminating the threat.
Technologies focused on enhancing the stability, efficacy, spread, or targeted application of biocidal active ingredients through specialized carriers, adjuvants, encapsulation, or physical forms (e.g., gels, spray-dried particles).
Methods and compositions for introducing, modifying, or expressing foreign genetic material within plant cells to confer new traits, produce novel compounds, or enhance existing characteristics.
Engineering or breeding plants to exhibit enhanced resistance or tolerance to pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses) or pests, often involving the identification and introduction of specific resistance genes or genomic regions.
Compositions and methods designed to either lure insect pests to traps or away from crops, often utilizing specific volatile organic compounds such as pheromones, kairomones, or natural essential oils.
Techniques for identifying microorganisms, assessing their viability, quantifying their presence, profiling their metabolic activity, or determining their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, often in complex biological or environmental samples.
