Portfolio overview

Brand Gmbh & Co KG has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Brand Gmbh & Co KG at rank #9,720 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE). As a Foreign Corporation, Brand Gmbh & Co KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Brand sits between Biosurfit, S.a. (32 patents, rank #9,716) and Bently Nevada, Llc (32 patents, rank #9,724) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.1/100 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 18 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a +29% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Brand Gmbh & Co KG's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Brand Gmbh & Co KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
