Portfolio overview

GEMU Gebr. Mueller Apparatebau Gmbh & Co. Kommanditsgesellschaft has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2018 and 2023, placing GEMU Gebr. Mueller Apparatebau Gmbh & Co. Kommanditsgesellschaft at rank #24,376 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; DEVICES FOR VENTING OR AERATING). As a Foreign Corporation, GEMU Gebr. Mueller Apparatebau Gmbh & Co. Kommanditsgesellschaft is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GEMU sits between GBS Holdings Llc (11 patents, rank #24,372) and GFL S.a. (11 patents, rank #24,380) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.5/100 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 9 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +350% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. GEMU Gebr. Mueller Apparatebau Gmbh & Co. Kommanditsgesellschaft's 8.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GEMU Gebr. Mueller Apparatebau Gmbh & Co. Kommanditsgesellschaft against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
