Case Study: Elica Group achieves a new technology partnership and faster product innovation with PatSnap

Elica Group - Customer Case Study

Elica Group, the world leader in cooker hoods and a European leader in motors, needed to explore new innovation avenues (for air treatment, “silent” products and integrated hobs like NikolaTesla) while ensuring freedom to operate and avoiding competitors’ intellectual property. To support IP management, competitor monitoring and technology scouting, Elica turned to PatSnap’s patent-search and IP intelligence platform.

Using PatSnap’s smart patent search, alerts and cross‑industry scouting tools, Elica was able to analyse existing IP, avoid infringement and identify a previously unknown local partner from a patent filing; that contact has become an ongoing, successful supplier relationship for a part used in a new product. PatSnap therefore delivered measurable business impact by de‑risking development, accelerating partner discovery and directly enabling product innovation.
