Portfolio overview

BASF Agro Trademarks Gmbh has been granted 31 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing BASF Agro Trademarks Gmbh at rank #9,976 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01M (CATCHING, TRAPPING OR SCARING OF ANIMALS ; APPARATUS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF NOXIOUS ANIMALS OR NOXIOUS PLANTS). As a Foreign Corporation, BASF Agro Trademarks Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BASF sits between Atacor Medical, Inc. (31 patents, rank #9,972) and BP P.l.c. (31 patents, rank #9,980) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 31 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. BASF Agro Trademarks Gmbh's 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BASF Agro Trademarks 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.
