Portfolio overview

BAM Bundesanstalt Fuer Materialforschung Und-pruefung has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing BAM Bundesanstalt Fuer Materialforschung Und-pruefung at rank #39,017 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B22F (WORKING METALLIC POWDER; MANUFACTURE OF ARTICLES FROM METALLIC POWDER; MAKING METALLIC POWDER ; APPARATUS OR DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR METALLIC POWDER). As a Foreign Corporation, BAM Bundesanstalt Fuer Materialforschung Und-pruefung is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BAM sits between Balchem Corporation (6 patents, rank #39,013) and BASF Construction Solutions Gmbh (6 patents, rank #39,021) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.0/100 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 1 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -80% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. BAM Bundesanstalt Fuer Materialforschung Und-pruefung's 19.3 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 BAM Bundesanstalt Fuer Materialforschung Und-pruefung against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
