Portfolio overview

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.a. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Ducati Motor Holding S.p.a. at rank #34,990 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62J (CYCLE SADDLES OR SEATS; AUXILIARY DEVICES OR ACCESSORIES SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO CYCLES AND NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. ARTICLE CARRIERS OR CYCLE PROTECTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Ducati Motor Holding S.p.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ducati sits between DSP Concepts, Inc. (7 patents, rank #34,986) and Dupray Ventures Inc. (7 patents, rank #34,994) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.0/100 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 5 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +150% 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. Ducati Motor Holding S.p.a.'s 14.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ducati Motor Holding S.p.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
