Portfolio overview

Adidas International Marketing B.v. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Adidas International Marketing B.v. at rank #38,444 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A63B (APPARATUS FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING, GYMNASTICS, SWIMMING, CLIMBING, OR FENCING; BALL GAMES; TRAINING EQUIPMENT). As a Foreign Corporation, Adidas International Marketing B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, adidas sits between Zoppas Industries De Mexico S.a., De C.v. (7 patents, rank #38,440) and Bredent Gmbh & Co. KG (7 patents, rank #38,448) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.1/100 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 1 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -83% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Adidas International Marketing B.v.'s 26.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Adidas International Marketing B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
