Portfolio overview

Atlas Copco IAS Gmbh has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Atlas Copco IAS Gmbh at rank #13,310 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B05C (APPARATUS FOR APPLYING FLUENT MATERIALS TO SURFACES, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Atlas Copco IAS Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Atlas sits between Apptimize Llc (22 patents, rank #13,306) and Augustine Temperature Management Llc (22 patents, rank #13,314) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.3/100 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 21 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2000% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Atlas Copco IAS Gmbh's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Atlas Copco IAS Gmbh 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.
