#3,964
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 91 granted patents across 48 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL).
The verdict
E.g.o. holds 91 US patents across 48 technology areas, rank #3,964 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
E.g.o. Elektro-geraetebau Gmbh has been granted 91 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing E.g.o. Elektro-geraetebau Gmbh at rank #3,964 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, E.g.o. Elektro-geraetebau Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, E.g.o. sits between CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd. (91 patents, rank #3,960) and Hover Inc. (91 patents, rank #3,968) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.8/100 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 51 grants, compared with 40 in the 2015–2019 window, a +28% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. E.g.o. Elektro-geraetebau Gmbh's 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 48 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark E.g.o. Elektro-geraetebau Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
E.g.o.'s 91 grants land it in the top 6% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
