Portfolio overview
BORGWARNER BERU SYSTEMS GMBH has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing BORGWARNER BERU SYSTEMS GMBH at rank #19,504 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 F02P (IGNITION, OTHER THAN COMPRESSION IGNITION, FOR INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES; TESTING OF IGNITION TIMING IN COMPRESSION-IGNITION ENGINES). As a Foreign Corporation, BORGWARNER BERU SYSTEMS GMBH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 31.5/100 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 0 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window — a -100% 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. BORGWARNER BERU SYSTEMS GMBH's 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BORGWARNER BERU SYSTEMS GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
