Portfolio overview

ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG has been granted 115 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG at rank #3,244 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in E05B (LOCKS; ACCESSORIES THEREFOR; HANDCUFFS). As a Foreign Corporation, ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ABUS sits between UCL Business Plc (116 patents, rank #3,240) and Catalyst Lifestyle Limited (115 patents, rank #3,248) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.6/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 73 grants, compared with 42 in the 2015–2019 window, a +74% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.

Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG's 10.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
