Portfolio overview

CNM Technologies Gmbh has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2017 and 2023, placing CNM Technologies Gmbh at rank #39,399 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G03F (PHOTOMECHANICAL PRODUCTION OF TEXTURED OR PATTERNED SURFACES, e.g. FOR PRINTING, FOR PROCESSING OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES; MATERIALS THEREFOR; ORIGINALS THEREFOR; APPARATUS SPECIALLY ADAPTED THEREFOR;). As a Foreign Corporation, CNM Technologies Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, CNM sits between Cmosis BVBA (6 patents, rank #39,395) and CODA Innovations S.r.o. (6 patents, rank #39,403) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.6/100 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 4 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. CNM Technologies Gmbh's 11.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CNM Technologies Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

CNM's 6 grants land it in the top 65% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - CNM ranks #39,399 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G03F - see who else leads that technology area. G03F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
