Portfolio overview

Danfoss Commercial Compressors has been granted 45 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Danfoss Commercial Compressors at rank #7,254 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F04C (ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS ; ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT PUMPS). As a Foreign Corporation, Danfoss Commercial Compressors is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Danfoss sits between Constellium Issoire (45 patents, rank #7,250) and Decawave Ltd. (45 patents, rank #7,258) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.4/100 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 25 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% 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. Danfoss Commercial Compressors's 16.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Danfoss Commercial Compressors 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.
