According to the 2022 regional ranking of patent applicants at the French National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), Latecoere is the first mid-sized company in Occitanie for its innovation efforts in the region, a position that the group has held for several years.

Like every year, the INPI unveils the 2022 regional ranking of the main patent applicants, a ranking which highlights innovative players in the regions.

This new distinction highlights the contribution of the Latecoere group, which has also just opened a new Composites Development Center in Toulouse, to the development of technical innovations in the region. In detail, the group made a total of 19 patent filings over the period: 10 for the Aerostructures division (“Latecoere” in the ranking) and 9 for the Interconnection Systems division.

The dynamism of the region’s players positions Occitanie on the podium of the regions of France in the INPI rankings, with Ile-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
