USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 221 granted patents across 77 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES).
The verdict
Brose holds 221 US patents across 77 technology areas, rank #1,828 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Brose Fahrzeugteile Gmbh & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft has been granted 221 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Brose Fahrzeugteile Gmbh & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft at rank #1,828 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 77 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02K (DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES). As a Foreign Corporation, Brose Fahrzeugteile Gmbh & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Brose sits between Mitsubishi Power, Ltd. (222 patents, rank #1,824) and Universite Claude Bernad LYON 1 (221 patents, rank #1,832) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.9/100 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 110 grants, compared with 111 in the 2015–2019 window, a -1% 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. Brose Fahrzeugteile Gmbh & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 77 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Brose Fahrzeugteile Gmbh & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Brose's 221 grants land it in the top 8% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
