Portfolio overview

Bucher Hydraulics Gmbh has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bucher Hydraulics Gmbh at rank #28,309 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F15B (SYSTEMS ACTING BY MEANS OF FLUIDS IN GENERAL; FLUID-PRESSURE ACTUATORS, e.g. SERVOMOTORS; DETAILS OF FLUID-PRESSURE SYSTEMS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Bucher Hydraulics Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Bucher sits between Bright Cloud International Corporation (9 patents, rank #28,305) and Bunge Global Innovation, Llc (9 patents, rank #28,313) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.3/100 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 7 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Bucher Hydraulics Gmbh's 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bucher Hydraulics Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
