USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 11 technology areas, active 2015–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search.

The verdict
Bruker holds 9 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #28,242 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Bruker AXS Gmbh has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Bruker AXS Gmbh at rank #28,242 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, Bruker AXS Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Bruker sits between Brink's Network, Incorporated (9 patents, rank #28,238) and Bulletproof Property Management, Llc (9 patents, rank #28,246) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.8/100 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 1 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -87% 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. Bruker AXS Gmbh's 14.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bruker AXS Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Bruker's 9 grants land it in the top 51% 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.
