Patents are a very hard read. The main purpose of the filing entity is to protect their IP in a way that no one can really figure out how to reproduce it.

Exclusive Data
QuantIP went deep into its database with more than 16.000 patents and dug through to find the 2022 filings from startup companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Large companies file many patents, and there are somewhere between two and three million every year. This report defines startups as companies that filed their first patent before 2018. They also have only 3–9 inventions (an invention is a novel idea, and the patent is only the protection of it so that an invention can be patented in several markets).
For 2022 we look at almost 8.000 patent filings from a bit over 1.500 startups for GSA/DACH:
The different startup ecosystems are pretty different in size, but what is surprising is that, on average, a startup filed more than five patents.
- Analyzing material properties is vastly different, but the majority is attributable to biotech, but you can also think about materials for windmills.
- For example, medical preparation can be associated with detecting sicknesses, e.g., cancer detection.
- Digital data processing is a giant field with applications ranging from biotech to self-driving cars, AI, and many more. Many filings here come from large companies, e.g., for Germany SAP.
- Optical elements and systems can be associated with lasers, but the vast growth in applying optical sensors is in sensor technology, like autonomous vehicles, drones, and similar devices.
- Shaping technologies also include many fields such as nanotechnology or 3d printing, but also all the precision tools GSA is famous for.
The applications are generally rising, and some categories are growing strongly across the patent data set.
In Switzerland, patents related to biotechnology reign supreme, but many large companies are located in the country. This could be just talent leaving larger companies and starting their biotech startup, including filing for patents.
Germany and Austria look more similar here since most patent filings can be included in emission reduction or energy efficiency.
