Portfolio overview

DMG MORI Co., Ltd. has been granted 165 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing DMG MORI Co., Ltd. at rank #2,370 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 65 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B23Q (DETAILS, COMPONENTS, OR ACCESSORIES FOR MACHINE TOOLS, e.g. ARRANGEMENTS FOR COPYING OR CONTROLLING ; MACHINE TOOLS IN GENERAL CHARACTERISED BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF PARTICULAR DETAILS OR COMPONENTS; CO). As a Foreign Corporation, DMG MORI Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DMG sits between Ulvac, Inc. (166 patents, rank #2,366) and MESO Scale Technologies, Llc. (165 patents, rank #2,374) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.6/100 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 112 grants, compared with 53 in the 2015–2019 window, a +111% 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. DMG MORI Co., Ltd.'s 8.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 65 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DMG MORI Co., Ltd. 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.
