Carl Zeiss Multisem Gmbh has been granted 30 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Carl Zeiss Multisem Gmbh at #10,276 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01J (ELECTRIC DISCHARGE TUBES OR DISCHARGE LAMPS). As a Foreign Corporation, Carl Zeiss Multisem Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Carl sits between Curexo, Inc. (30 patents, rank #10,280) and Chiaro Technology Limited (30 patents, rank #10,288) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.2/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 30 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Carl Zeiss Multisem Gmbh's 22.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 4 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
