Portfolio overview

AVL LIST Gmbh has been granted 237 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AVL LIST Gmbh at rank #1,721 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 95 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01M (TESTING STATIC OR DYNAMIC BALANCE OF MACHINES OR STRUCTURES; TESTING OF STRUCTURES OR APPARATUS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, AVL LIST Gmbh is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AVL sits between LX Semicon Co., Ltd. (238 patents, rank #1,717) and Sartorius Stedim Biotech Gmbh (237 patents, rank #1,725) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.0/100 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 145 grants, compared with 92 in the 2015–2019 window, a +58% 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. AVL LIST Gmbh's 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 95 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AVL LIST Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
