USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 49 granted patents across 26 technology areas, active 2017–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F04B (POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS; PUMPS).
The verdict
Danfoss holds 49 US patents across 26 technology areas, rank #6,758 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Danfoss Power Solutions Gmbh & Co. OHG has been granted 49 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Danfoss Power Solutions Gmbh & Co. OHG at rank #6,758 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F04B (POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS; PUMPS). As a Foreign Corporation, Danfoss Power Solutions Gmbh & Co. OHG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Danfoss sits between Coopersurgical, Inc. (49 patents, rank #6,754) and Eternal Materials Co., Ltd. (49 patents, rank #6,762) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 26 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a +13% 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 Power Solutions Gmbh & Co. OHG's 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Danfoss Power Solutions Gmbh & Co. OHG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Danfoss's 49 grants land it in the top 23% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
