Portfolio overview

Dürr Dental SE has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing Dürr Dental SE at rank #28,612 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G03B (APPARATUS OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OR FOR PROJECTING OR VIEWING THEM; APPARATUS OR ARRANGEMENTS EMPLOYING ANALOGOUS TECHNIQUES USING WAVES OTHER THAN OPTICAL WAVES; ACCESSORIES THEREFOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Dürr Dental SE is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Dürr sits between Dura-line Llc (9 patents, rank #28,608) and EAST Coast DYES, Inc. (9 patents, rank #28,616) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.9/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2024, with 9 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Dürr Dental SE's 15.3 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 Dürr Dental SE 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.
