About the numbers. 40 total filings across the seven families, of which 33 are granted, registered or validated and 7 are pending (in examination, allowed, or in search-report stage). 13 countries hold granted national rights; the EU trade mark and Community design cover the whole EU, and the UPC Unitary Patent the participating member states. Of the 40 active rights: 33 patents (22 granted, 7 pending), 8 trademarks, 2 registered designs and 1 utility model. Two German parent applications (within K40397 and K40400) are being deliberately superseded by the broader European patents in the same families and are therefore not listed above.

About the links. Each row above links to the canonical publication record on the responsible register — Google Patents (mirrors Espacenet's machine-readable record with one-click PDF), the EPO Register (file inspection), the DPMA Register (file inspection), the USPTO Patent Center, EUIPO eSearch plus, or the UK IPO. Where multiple national validations share a single B1 grant document (K40399, K40400), every row links to that same grant PDF.
