Portfolio overview

ECP Entwicklungsgesellschaft Mbh has been granted 145 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ECP Entwicklungsgesellschaft Mbh at rank #2,675 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61M (DEVICES FOR INTRODUCING MEDIA INTO, OR ONTO, THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR TRANSDUCING BODY MEDIA OR FOR TAKING MEDIA FROM THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR PRODUCING OR ENDING SLEEP OR STUPOR). As a Foreign Corporation, ECP Entwicklungsgesellschaft Mbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ECP sits between Scienbizip Consulting(shenzhen)co., Ltd. (146 patents, rank #2,671) and Medela Holding Ag (145 patents, rank #2,679) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.4/100 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 93 grants, compared with 52 in the 2015–2019 window, a +79% 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. ECP Entwicklungsgesellschaft Mbh's 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ECP Entwicklungsgesellschaft Mbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
