Portfolio overview
Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG has been granted 21 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG at rank #14,022 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01D (HARVESTING; MOWING). As a Foreign Corporation, Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 56.9/100 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 14 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% 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. Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG's 21.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
