Portfolio overview

BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBH has been granted 210 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBH at rank #1,907 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 65 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62D (MOTOR VEHICLES; TRAILERS). As a Foreign Corporation, BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBH is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 57.3/100 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 100 grants, compared with 110 in the 2015–2019 window — a -9% 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. BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBH's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 65 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
