Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 79 granted patents across 26 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B21D (WORKING OR PROCESSING OF SHEET METAL OR METAL TUBES, RODS OR PROFILES WITHOUT ESSENTIALLY REMOVING MATERIAL; PUNCHING METAL).
The verdict
AIDA holds 79 US patents across 26 technology areas, rank #4,449 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
AIDA Engineering, Ltd. has been granted 79 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AIDA Engineering, Ltd. at rank #4,449 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B21D (WORKING OR PROCESSING OF SHEET METAL OR METAL TUBES, RODS OR PROFILES WITHOUT ESSENTIALLY REMOVING MATERIAL; PUNCHING METAL). As a Foreign Corporation, AIDA Engineering, Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AIDA sits between Vacuumschmelze Gmbh & Co. KG (80 patents, rank #4,445) and Audible, Inc. (79 patents, rank #4,453) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 41 grants, compared with 38 in the 2015–2019 window, a +8% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. AIDA Engineering, Ltd.'s 10.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AIDA Engineering, Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
AIDA's 79 grants land it in the top 23% 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.
