Can you elaborate on this? My guess would be, that because of their status as a government backed research institute, they invent a lot, but let others do the commercialisation. So patent fees seem like a natural choice for them, to recover their investments.
Seconded. Would love to hear about “best Fraunhofer practices” and fort hand experience.

They had patents on MP3 that were a pain in the arse 30 years ago.
Their last lawsuit, another "submarine patent" grift by the looks of it, was dismissed as recently as 4 days ago.
