What this shows Diehl Aviation Gilching Gmbh stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #14,565 of 50,000; Innovation Score 37.7/100 sits in the top 43% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Danstar Ferment Ag (±0 grants).
Diehl Aviation Gilching Gmbh has been granted 20 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Diehl Aviation Gilching Gmbh at #14,565 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C01B (NON-METALLIC ELEMENTS; COMPOUNDS THEREOF; ; METALLOIDS OR COMPOUNDS THEREOF NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASS C01C). As a Foreign Corporation, Diehl Aviation Gilching Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Diehl sits between Danstar Ferment Ag (20 patents, rank #14,570) and Duality Technologies, Inc. (20 patents, rank #14,578) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.7/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 15 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +275% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Diehl Aviation Gilching Gmbh's 15.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 21 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
