#25,753
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 10 granted patents across 10 technology areas, active 2022–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B41C (PROCESSES FOR THE MANUFACTURE OR REPRODUCTION OF PRINTING SURFACES).
Agfa Offset BV has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2022 and 2024, placing Agfa Offset BV at rank #25,753 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B41C (PROCESSES FOR THE MANUFACTURE OR REPRODUCTION OF PRINTING SURFACES). As a Foreign Corporation, Agfa Offset BV is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 50.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2024, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Agfa Offset BV's 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Agfa Offset BV against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
