Portfolio overview

Diebold Nixdorf Incorporated has been granted 107 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Diebold Nixdorf Incorporated at rank #3,450 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07F (COIN-FREED OR LIKE APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Diebold Nixdorf Incorporated is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Diebold sits between Bestop, Inc. (107 patents, rank #3,446) and Mitsui High-tec, Inc. (107 patents, rank #3,454) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.1/100 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 61 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Diebold Nixdorf Incorporated's 14.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Diebold Nixdorf Incorporated 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.
