Portfolio overview

Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY at rank #13,387 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01S (DEVICES USING THE PROCESS OF LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF RADIATION [LASER] TO AMPLIFY OR GENERATE LIGHT; DEVICES USING STIMULATED EMISSION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN WAVE RANGES). As a Foreign Corporation, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 40.5/100 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 9 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window, a -31% 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. Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY's 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Deutsches's 22 grants land it in the top 35% 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 - Deutsches ranks #13,387 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01S - see who else leads that technology area. H01S 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.
