Portfolio overview
FEDERAL-MOGUL IGNITION GMBH has been granted 113 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing FEDERAL-MOGUL IGNITION GMBH at rank #3,302 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 32 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01T (SPARK GAPS; OVERVOLTAGE ARRESTERS USING SPARK GAPS; SPARKING PLUGS; CORONA DEVICES; GENERATING IONS TO BE INTRODUCED INTO NON-ENCLOSED GASES). As a Foreign Corporation, FEDERAL-MOGUL IGNITION GMBH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 51.8/100 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 75 in the 2015–2019 window — a -49% 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. FEDERAL-MOGUL IGNITION GMBH's 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 32 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark FEDERAL-MOGUL IGNITION GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
