Clarios Germany Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 38 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Clarios Germany Gmbh & Co. KG at #8,353 of 50,000 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 H01M (PROCESSES OR MEANS, e.g. BATTERIES, FOR THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY). As a Foreign Corporation, Clarios Germany Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Clarios sits between Carl Zeiss SMS Ltd. (38 patents, rank #8,351) and Cool Planet Energy System, Inc. (38 patents, rank #8,359) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.8/100 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 38 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. Clarios Germany Gmbh & Co. KG's 16.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 23 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
