Portfolio overview

Biedermann Technologies Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 351 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Biedermann Technologies Gmbh & Co. KG at rank #1,206 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Biedermann Technologies Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Biedermann sits between Alstom Technology Ltd (352 patents, rank #1,202) and Shenzhen Smoore Technology Limited (351 patents, rank #1,210) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.6/100 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 165 grants, compared with 186 in the 2015–2019 window, a -11% 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. Biedermann Technologies Gmbh & Co. KG's 21.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Biedermann Technologies Gmbh & Co. KG 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.
