Portfolio overview

Eberspächer Exhaust Technology Gmbh has been granted 150 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Eberspächer Exhaust Technology Gmbh at rank #2,588 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 39 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in F01N (GAS-FLOW SILENCERS OR EXHAUST APPARATUS FOR MACHINES OR ENGINES IN GENERAL; GAS-FLOW SILENCERS OR EXHAUST APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES). As a Foreign Corporation, Eberspächer Exhaust Technology Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Eberspächer sits between ASMO Co., Ltd. (150 patents, rank #2,584) and Kyoraku Co., Ltd. (150 patents, rank #2,592) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.3/100 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 28 grants, compared with 122 in the 2015–2019 window, a -77% 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. Eberspächer Exhaust Technology Gmbh's 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 39 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Eberspächer Exhaust Technology Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
