The verdict
Dieffenbacher holds 12 US patents across 15 technology areas, rank #22,476 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Dieffenbacher Gmbh Maschinen- Und Anlagenbau has been granted 12 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Dieffenbacher Gmbh Maschinen- Und Anlagenbau at rank #22,476 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29C (SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING). As a Foreign Corporation, Dieffenbacher Gmbh Maschinen- Und Anlagenbau is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Dieffenbacher sits between Deployable Space Systems, Inc. (12 patents, rank #22,472) and Discovery.com, Llc (12 patents, rank #22,480) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.3/100 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 2 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -80% 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. Dieffenbacher Gmbh Maschinen- Und Anlagenbau's 16.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Dieffenbacher Gmbh Maschinen- Und Anlagenbau against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Dieffenbacher's 12 grants land it in the top 59% 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.
