USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 126 granted patents across 33 technology areas, active 2015–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
dspace holds 126 US patents across 33 technology areas, rank #3,032 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Dspace Digital Signal Processing And Control Engineering Gmbh has been granted 126 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Dspace Digital Signal Processing And Control Engineering Gmbh at rank #3,032 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Dspace Digital Signal Processing And Control Engineering Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, dspace sits between Tactual Labs Co. (126 patents, rank #3,028) and Fontem Holdings 1 B.v. (125 patents, rank #3,036) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.8/100 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 43 grants, compared with 83 in the 2015–2019 window, a -48% 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. Dspace Digital Signal Processing And Control Engineering Gmbh's 15.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 33 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Dspace Digital Signal Processing And Control Engineering Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
dspace's 126 grants land it in the top 20% 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.
