USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 10 granted patents across 11 technology areas, active 2016–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES).
The verdict
Deutsches holds 10 US patents across 11 technology areas, rank #26,099 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Deutsches Rheuma-forschungszentrum Berlin has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Deutsches Rheuma-forschungszentrum Berlin at rank #26,099 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, Deutsches Rheuma-forschungszentrum Berlin is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Deutsches sits between DB Equipment AS (10 patents, rank #26,095) and Diasorin S.p.a. (10 patents, rank #26,103) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.0/100 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 6 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +50% 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. Deutsches Rheuma-forschungszentrum Berlin's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Deutsches Rheuma-forschungszentrum Berlin against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Deutsches's 10 grants land it in the top 48% 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.
