The verdict
Erwin holds 9 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #28,652 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Erwin Junker Grinding Technology A.s. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Erwin Junker Grinding Technology A.s. at rank #28,652 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B24B (MACHINES, DEVICES, OR PROCESSES FOR GRINDING OR POLISHING ; DRESSING OR CONDITIONING OF ABRADING SURFACES; FEEDING OF GRINDING, POLISHING, OR LAPPING AGENTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Erwin Junker Grinding Technology A.s. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Erwin sits between EP Minerals Llc (9 patents, rank #28,648) and ETAT Français Represente PAR LE Delegue General POUR L'armement (9 patents, rank #28,656) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.5/100 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 5 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% 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. Erwin Junker Grinding Technology A.s.'s 14.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Erwin Junker Grinding Technology A.s. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Erwin's 9 grants land it in the top 49% 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.
