Portfolio overview

GEKA Gmbh has been granted 42 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing GEKA Gmbh at rank #7,699 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A45D (HAIRDRESSING OR SHAVING EQUIPMENT ; EQUIPMENT FOR COSMETICS OR COSMETIC TREATMENTS, e.g. FOR MANICURING OR PEDICURING). As a Foreign Corporation, GEKA Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GEKA sits between Fpinnovations (42 patents, rank #7,695) and Gramercy Products, Llc (42 patents, rank #7,703) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.6/100 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 11 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window, a -65% 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. GEKA Gmbh's 11.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GEKA Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
