Portfolio overview
Fontem Ventures B.V. has been granted 51 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Fontem Ventures B.V. at rank #6,532 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A24F (SMOKERS' REQUISITES; MATCH BOXES; SIMULATED SMOKING DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Fontem Ventures B.V. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.5/100 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 2022 through 2025, with 51 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. Fontem Ventures B.V.'s 14.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fontem Ventures B.V. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
