Portfolio overview

GLEASON-PFAUTER MASCHINENFABRIK GMBH has been granted 27 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing GLEASON-PFAUTER MASCHINENFABRIK GMBH at rank #11,257 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B23F (MAKING GEARS OR TOOTHED RACKS). As a Foreign Corporation, GLEASON-PFAUTER MASCHINENFABRIK GMBH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 37.7/100 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 16 in the 2015–2019 window — a -31% 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. GLEASON-PFAUTER MASCHINENFABRIK GMBH's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GLEASON-PFAUTER MASCHINENFABRIK GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
