Portfolio overview

Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen Gmbh has been granted 138 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen Gmbh at rank #2,784 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 56 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01D (HARVESTING; MOWING). As a Foreign Corporation, Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen Gmbh is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Claas sits between Spirit Aerosystems, Inc. (139 patents, rank #2,780) and Dynamics Inc. (138 patents, rank #2,788) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.6/100 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 64 grants, compared with 74 in the 2015–2019 window, a -14% 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. Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen Gmbh's 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 56 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Claas Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
