Portfolio overview

Dürr Ecoclean Gmbh has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2016 and 2018, placing Dürr Ecoclean Gmbh at rank #31,471 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B08B (CLEANING IN GENERAL; PREVENTION OF FOULING IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Dürr Ecoclean Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Dürr sits between Durham Enterprises Corporation (8 patents, rank #31,467) and E2 Limited (8 patents, rank #31,475) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 21.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Dürr Ecoclean Gmbh's 8.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Dürr Ecoclean Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
