What this shows AIT Austrian Institute OF Technology Gmbh stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-UP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #8,973 of 50,000; Innovation Score 46.1/100 sits in the top 22% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is 2724889 Ontario Inc. (±0 grants).
AIT Austrian Institute OF Technology Gmbh has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AIT Austrian Institute OF Technology Gmbh at #8,973 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, AIT Austrian Institute OF Technology Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AIT sits between Won-door Corporation (36 patents, rank #8,966) and Axsome Malta Ltd. (35 patents, rank #8,974) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.1/100 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. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 20 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a +43% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. 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. AIT Austrian Institute OF Technology Gmbh's 15.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 37 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
