Company patents

SCHOTT Pharma Schweiz AG

SCHOTT Pharma Schweiz AG, despite its name, shows a surprisingly broad patent strategy beyond just 'Pharma' with significant activity in 'Pharmacy Containers / Devices' (47.6% of portfolio) and 'Drug Delivery Devices' (32.9%), both experiencing rapid growth in 2024 (YoY +300.0% and +250.0% respectively), indicating a strong focus on the medical device aspect of pharmaceutical delivery. However, patenting in 'Packaging Machines' saw a rapid emergence in 2025 with a +150.0% YoY growth, suggesting an expanding interest in manufacturing efficiencies, while patenting across most categories shows a sharp decline so far in 2026, which is expected given the partial year data.
