In addition to the overall findings, the study also included the average technological relevance of a patent portfolio (patent relevance for short) as a further indicator. This is based on how frequently the patents are quoted in other patents, adjusted for specific factors. This supplementary information of the internationally leading analysis company PatentSight is also available for Ewald Dörken AG, which was assessed as particularly relevant with two points thanks to its technologically relevant patent portfolio.

“We are delighted with this outstanding assessment - especially during the coronavirus pandemic,” says Dörken CEO Thorsten Koch. “This is the reward for the innovation culture that we consciously maintain and promote across all levels. It also motivates us further to utilise our commitment, boldness and confidence to continue to expand under the difficult conditions at this time.”
