The verdict
Besser holds 10 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #25,898 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Besser Company has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Besser Company at rank #25,898 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B28B (SHAPING CLAY OR OTHER CERAMIC COMPOSITIONS; SHAPING SLAG; SHAPING MIXTURES CONTAINING CEMENTITIOUS MATERIAL, e.g. PLASTER). As a US Corporation, Besser Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Besser sits between Bell Laboratories, Inc. (10 patents, rank #25,894) and Bidgely, Inc. (10 patents, rank #25,902) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.3/100 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 8 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +300% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. Besser Company's 9.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Besser Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Besser's 10 grants land it in the top 39% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
