Portfolio overview

Andreas Stihl Ag & Co. KG has been granted 412 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Andreas Stihl Ag & Co. KG at rank #1,049 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 106 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25F (COMBINATION OR MULTI-PURPOSE TOOLS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; DETAILS OR COMPONENTS OF PORTABLE POWER-DRIVEN TOOLS NOT PARTICULARLY RELATED TO THE OPERATIONS PERFORMED AND NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Andreas Stihl Ag & Co. KG is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Andreas sits between Pegatron Corporation (414 patents, rank #1,045) and Gigaphoton Inc. (411 patents, rank #1,053) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.3/100 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 210 grants, compared with 202 in the 2015–2019 window, a +4% 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. Andreas Stihl Ag & Co. KG's 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Andreas Stihl Ag & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
