What this shows Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen Gmbh + Co. KG stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #19,491 of 50,000; Innovation Score 51.5/100 sits in the top 11% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Baden-wuerttemberg Stiftung Ggmbh (±0 grants).
Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen Gmbh + Co. KG has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2019 and 2024, placing Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen Gmbh + Co. KG at #19,491 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65B (MACHINES, APPARATUS OR DEVICES FOR, OR METHODS OF, PACKAGING ARTICLES OR MATERIALS; UNPACKING). As a Foreign Corporation, Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen Gmbh + Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Bausch sits between BWXT Isotope Technology Group, Inc. (14 patents, rank #19,510) and Beijing Const Instruments Technology Inc. (14 patents, rank #19,518) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 13 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1200% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen Gmbh + Co. KG's 16.6 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 12 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
