Portfolio overview

Baden-wuerttemberg Stiftung Ggmbh has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Baden-wuerttemberg Stiftung Ggmbh at rank #19,511 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Baden-wuerttemberg Stiftung Ggmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Baden-wuerttemberg sits between Brightwake Limited (14 patents, rank #19,507) and Bay Materials, Llc (14 patents, rank #19,515) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.5/100 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 10 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +150% 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. Baden-wuerttemberg Stiftung Ggmbh's 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Baden-wuerttemberg Stiftung Ggmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
