Portfolio overview

Delaval Holding AB has been granted 173 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Delaval Holding AB at rank #2,265 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01J (MANUFACTURE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Delaval Holding AB is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Delaval sits between Bard Access Systems, Inc. (173 patents, rank #2,261) and Ossia Inc. (173 patents, rank #2,269) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.8/100 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 85 grants, compared with 88 in the 2015–2019 window, a -3% 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. Delaval Holding AB'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 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Delaval Holding AB 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.
