Portfolio overview
Boehringer Laboratories Llc has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing Boehringer Laboratories Llc at rank #28,293 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Boehringer Laboratories Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Boehringer sits between Blockwise Engineering Llc (9 patents, rank #28,289) and Borgwarner Esslingen Gmbh (9 patents, rank #28,297) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.2/100 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 5 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Boehringer Laboratories Llc's 19.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Boehringer Laboratories Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
