Portfolio overview

Autefa Solutions Germany Gmbh has been granted 26 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Autefa Solutions Germany Gmbh at rank #11,542 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in D04H (MAKING TEXTILE FABRICS, e.g. FROM FIBRES OR FILAMENTARY MATERIAL ; FABRICS MADE BY SUCH PROCESSES OR APPARATUS, e.g. FELTS, NON-WOVEN FABRICS; COTTON-WOOL; WADDING ; ; NON-WOVEN FABRICS FROM STAPLE FI). As a Foreign Corporation, Autefa Solutions Germany Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Autefa sits between ASSA Abloy Access And Egress Hardware Group, Inc. (26 patents, rank #11,538) and Aero Industries, Inc. (26 patents, rank #11,546) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.0/100 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 19 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +171% 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. Autefa Solutions Germany Gmbh's 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Autefa Solutions Germany Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
