Eppendorf SE has been granted 33 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Eppendorf SE at #9,496 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE). As a Foreign Corporation, Eppendorf SE is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Eppendorf sits between EDDY Current Limited Partnership (33 patents, rank #9,490) and Ethox Chemicals, Llc (33 patents, rank #9,498) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 33 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Eppendorf SE's 9.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 20 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
