Portfolio overview

Borgwarner Ludwigsburg Gmbh has been granted 99 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Borgwarner Ludwigsburg Gmbh at rank #3,674 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 45 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.9 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 Ludwigsburg Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Borgwarner sits between A. O. Smith Corporation (99 patents, rank #3,670) and DR. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (99 patents, rank #3,678) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.8/100 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 32 grants, compared with 67 in the 2015–2019 window, a -52% 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 Ludwigsburg Gmbh's 11.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 45 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Borgwarner Ludwigsburg Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
