Portfolio overview

Enkotec A/s has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2021 and 2024, placing Enkotec A/s at rank #40,085 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B21G (MAKING NEEDLES, PINS OR NAILS OF METAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Enkotec A/s is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Enkotec sits between Energy Materials Corporation (6 patents, rank #40,081) and Enteroptyx, Inc. (6 patents, rank #40,089) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2024, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Enkotec A/s's 10.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Enkotec A/s against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Enkotec's 6 grants land it in the top 82% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Enkotec ranks #40,085 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B21G - see who else leads that technology area. B21G leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
