USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 91 granted patents across 24 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H10F (INORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES SENSITIVE TO INFRARED RADIATION, LIGHT, ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OF SHORTER WAVELENGTH OR CORPUSCULAR RADIATION).
The verdict
Azur holds 91 US patents across 24 technology areas — rank #3,955 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Azur Space Solar Power GmbH has been granted 91 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Azur Space Solar Power GmbH at rank #3,955 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10F (INORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES SENSITIVE TO INFRARED RADIATION, LIGHT, ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OF SHORTER WAVELENGTH OR CORPUSCULAR RADIATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Azur Space Solar Power GmbH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 49.7/100 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 53 grants, compared with 38 in the 2015–2019 window — a +39% 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. Azur Space Solar Power GmbH's 16.0 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 Azur Space Solar Power GmbH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Azur's 91 grants land it in the top 14% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
