Portfolio overview

Endress+hauser Gmbh+co.kg has been granted 123 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Endress+hauser Gmbh+co.kg at rank #3,076 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01F (MEASURING VOLUME, VOLUME FLOW, MASS FLOW OR LIQUID LEVEL; METERING BY VOLUME). As a Foreign Corporation, Endress+hauser Gmbh+co.kg is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Endress+hauser sits between Mölnlycke Health Care AB (124 patents, rank #3,072) and Festo SE & Co. KG (123 patents, rank #3,080) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.6/100 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 3 grants, compared with 120 in the 2015–2019 window, a -97% 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. Endress+hauser Gmbh+co.kg's 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Endress+hauser Gmbh+co.kg 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.
