Siemens is among the strongest patent applicants worldwide
Ideas lead to innovations that create competitive advantages. Unless these ideas and innovations enjoy solid protection, this advantage is quickly lost. For this reason, Siemens’ intellectual property activities focus on strengthening its competitiveness. The company holds a large number of granted patents worldwide and thus ranks highly in other international statistics as well.
The company’s founder, Werner von Siemens, once said, “I believe that one of the main reasons our factories have thrived is that our products are largely based on our own inventions.”
In fiscal 2022, Siemens filed 2,650 patents worldwide. During the same period, the company reported 4,650 inventions, which amounts to 21 inventions per working day. In total, Siemens holds more than 46,700 granted patents worldwide.
