Solid-State Fermentation Aeration Patents: Leaders & Trends 2026
Solid-State Fermentation Aeration Control Patents
46.2% concentration. The top 5 of 100 ranked assignees hold 150 of the 325 records in scope — a genuinely concentrated core, not a diffuse field. Filings peaked at 55 in 2017, then settled into a lower but rebuilding band; 2021 to 2024 shows a 46% increase, from 13 to 19 records, the clearest recent growth signal the data supports.

Common questions on this landscape
Who holds the most patents in solid-state fermentation aeration control?
One assignee leads with 80 of the 325 records in scope, well ahead of the fifth-ranked assignee at 14. The top 5 assignees together hold 150 records, or 46.2% of all 325 records, meaning a small group controls close to half of the documented claim space. Beyond the top 10, which together hold 62.5% of records, the ranking spreads into a long tail of assignees with only a handful of filings each.
Is patent filing in this area growing or slowing down?
Filings peaked at 55 in 2017 and have not returned to that level since, but the more recent trend is upward: 2021 to 2024 shows a 46% increase, from 13 to 19 records. Because publication typically lags filing by around 18 months, 2025 and 2026 figures in the dataset are still incomplete and should not be read as a slowdown. Treat 2024 as the most recent year with a reliable count.
What technology areas dominate solid-state fermentation aeration patents?
Microorganism and genetic engineering claims under IPC class C12N appear on 77.5% of the 325 records, making it by far the most heavily claimed area. Bioreactor and enzyme apparatus claims (C12M) follow at 41.5%, and microorganism indexing (C12R) at 36.3%. Fermentation and enzymatic synthesis (C12P), water treatment (C02F), agrochemicals (A01N) and food-related classes (A23L, A23J) each cover a smaller share, since records can carry multiple classes and these shares are calculated against the same 325-record total.
Disclaimer. This analysis is based on Patsnap Eureka data drawn from a limited snapshot of global patent records and is provided for general information and reference only. Patent data carries inherent limitations — recent filings are under-counted because of publication lag, counts may be on a record or family basis, classification and applicant-name data may contain errors or duplicates, and the underlying search query defines the scope shown — so the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
Nothing here is an exhaustive prior-art, novelty, freedom-to-operate or validity search, nor does it constitute legal, financial or professional advice, and it should not be relied upon as such. Verify independently and review with qualified patent and legal professionals before acting on it.
Method: Filing trend and technology composition. Derived from a Patsnap search on Solid-State Fermentation Aeration Control covering 2015–2026, data cut-off 2026-07-31.
