Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 212 granted patents across 94 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A01B (SOIL WORKING IN AGRICULTURE OR FORESTRY; PARTS, DETAILS, OR ACCESSORIES OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINES OR IMPLEMENTS, IN GENERAL).
The verdict
AGCO holds 212 US patents across 94 technology areas, rank #1,896 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
AGCO International Gmbh has been granted 212 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AGCO International Gmbh at rank #1,896 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 94 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01B (SOIL WORKING IN AGRICULTURE OR FORESTRY; PARTS, DETAILS, OR ACCESSORIES OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINES OR IMPLEMENTS, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, AGCO International Gmbh is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AGCO sits between Pratt Corrugated Holdings, Inc. (213 patents, rank #1,892) and GE Energy Power Conversion Technology Limited (211 patents, rank #1,900) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.9/100 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 140 grants, compared with 72 in the 2015–2019 window, a +94% 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. AGCO International Gmbh's 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 94 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AGCO International Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
AGCO's 212 grants land it in the top 3% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
