Portfolio overview
Flexim Flexible Industriemesstechnik Gmbh has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Flexim Flexible Industriemesstechnik Gmbh at rank #35,370 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01F (MEASURING VOLUME, VOLUME FLOW, MASS FLOW OR LIQUID LEVEL; METERING BY VOLUME). As a Foreign Corporation, Flexim Flexible Industriemesstechnik Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Flexim sits between Fivetran Inc. (7 patents, rank #35,366) and Flyingtee Tech, Llc (7 patents, rank #35,374) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.1/100 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 3 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -25% 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. Flexim Flexible Industriemesstechnik Gmbh's 10.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Flexim Flexible Industriemesstechnik Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
