Portfolio overview

ALI S.p.a.—carpigiani Group has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing ALI S.p.a.—carpigiani Group at rank #9,175 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23G (COCOA; COCOA PRODUCTS, e.g. CHOCOLATE; SUBSTITUTES FOR COCOA OR COCOA PRODUCTS; CONFECTIONERY; CHEWING GUM; ICE-CREAM; PREPARATION THEREOF). As a Foreign Corporation, ALI S.p.a.—carpigiani Group is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ALI sits between Xad, Inc. (35 patents, rank #9,171) and Anhui University OF Science AND Technology (34 patents, rank #9,179) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.3/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 4 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window, a -87% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. ALI S.p.a.—carpigiani Group's 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ALI S.p.a.—carpigiani Group 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.
