Portfolio overview

Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 52 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik Gmbh & Co. KG at rank #6,412 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A22C (PROCESSING MEAT, POULTRY, OR FISH). As a Foreign Corporation, Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Albert sits between Zoho Corporation Private Limited (53 patents, rank #6,408) and Barnett Outdoors, Llc. (52 patents, rank #6,416) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 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 28 grants, compared with 24 in the 2015–2019 window, a +17% 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. Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik Gmbh & Co. KG's 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik Gmbh & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
