Portfolio overview

Brita Lp has been granted 146 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Brita Lp at rank #2,655 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C02F (TREATMENT OF WATER, WASTE WATER, SEWAGE, OR SLUDGE). As a Foreign Corporation, Brita Lp is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Brita sits between Apollo Intelligent Driving Technology (beijing) Co., Ltd. (146 patents, rank #2,651) and IPG Photonics Corporation (146 patents, rank #2,659) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.6/100 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 50 grants, compared with 96 in the 2015–2019 window, a -48% 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. Brita Lp's 6.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Brita Lp 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.
