Portfolio overview

ECCO Sko A/s has been granted 122 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ECCO Sko A/s at rank #3,092 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in A43B (CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF FOOTWEAR; PARTS OF FOOTWEAR). As a Foreign Corporation, ECCO Sko A/s is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ECCO sits between ARM IP Limited (122 patents, rank #3,088) and Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies, USA, Llc (122 patents, rank #3,096) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.9/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 54 grants, compared with 68 in the 2015–2019 window, a -21% 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. ECCO Sko A/s's 7.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ECCO Sko A/s 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.
