Overall rank by patents
#19,408
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 14 granted patents across 5 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2021–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: B33Y (ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, i.e. MANUFACTURING OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL [3-D] OBJECTS BY ADDITIVE DEPOSITION, ADDITIVE AGGLOMERATION OR ADDITIVE LAYERING, e.g. BY 3-D PRINTING, STEREOLITHOGRAPHY OR SELECTIVE ).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Additive ranks #19,408 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 14 patents across 5 technology areas.

What this shows Additive Industries B.v. stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, SPAN-YRS, BOOK-RICH. Volume places it #19,408 of 50,000; Innovation Score 46.0/100 sits in the top 22% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Accelercomm Limited (±0 grants).
Additive Industries B.v. has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Additive Industries B.v. at #19,408 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B33Y (ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, i.e. MANUFACTURING OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL [3-D] OBJECTS BY ADDITIVE DEPOSITION, ADDITIVE AGGLOMERATION OR ADDITIVE LAYERING, e.g. BY 3-D PRINTING, STEREOLITHOGRAPHY OR SELECTIVE ). As a Foreign Corporation, Additive Industries B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Additive sits between Accelercomm Limited (14 patents, rank #19,447) and Agility Robotics, Inc. (14 patents, rank #19,455) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.0/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 14 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Additive Industries B.v.'s 14.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 5 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
