13 January 2025 Cologne/Jena:
The German Economic Institute (https://www.iwkoeln.de/en/) has recognized siOPTICA’s innovative strength based on its patent filings from 2019 to 2021. Patents are a critical indicator of a company’s contribution to the cutting edge of technology.
Given the lengthy disclosure periods of patent applications, 2021 represents the most recent complete dataset for this evaluation.
In a comparison with other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany—defined as companies with up to 49 employees and up to 10 million euros in turnover—siOPTICA GmbH has achieved an impressive 3rd place in patent filing activities. This assessment included only independent small companies, excluding subsidiaries and those affiliated with larger corporate structures.
The commercial value of intellectual property is particularly significant for a technology-driven company like siOPTICA.
