Portfolio overview

Endress+hauser Wetzer Gmbh+co. KG has been granted 56 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Endress+hauser Wetzer Gmbh+co. KG at rank #6,021 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01K (MEASURING TEMPERATURE; MEASURING QUANTITY OF HEAT; THERMALLY-SENSITIVE ELEMENTS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Endress+hauser Wetzer Gmbh+co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Endress+hauser sits between Davinci II CSJ, Llc (56 patents, rank #6,017) and Foxconn Technology Group Co., Ltd. (56 patents, rank #6,025) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.5/100 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 38 grants, compared with 18 in the 2015–2019 window, a +111% 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. Endress+hauser Wetzer Gmbh+co. KG's 14.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Endress+hauser Wetzer Gmbh+co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
