Portfolio overview

Carlsberg Breweries A/s has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Carlsberg Breweries A/s at rank #10,897 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B67D (DISPENSING, DELIVERING OR TRANSFERRING LIQUIDS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Carlsberg Breweries A/s is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Carlsberg sits between CUE Health Inc. (28 patents, rank #10,893) and Clean Energy Labs, Llc (28 patents, rank #10,901) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.5/100 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 16 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Carlsberg Breweries A/s's 16.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Carlsberg Breweries A/s 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.
