Portfolio overview
Grupo Bimbo S.a.b. DE C.v. has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Grupo Bimbo S.a.b. DE C.v. at rank #18,662 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60L (PROPULSION OF ELECTRICALLY-PROPELLED VEHICLES ; SUPPLYING ELECTRIC POWER FOR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT OF ELECTRICALLY-PROPELLED VEHICLES ; ELECTRODYNAMIC BRAKE SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLES IN GENERAL ; MAGNETIC SU). As a Foreign Corporation, Grupo Bimbo S.a.b. DE C.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 48.3/100 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 5 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. Grupo Bimbo S.a.b. DE C.v.'s 10.8 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 Grupo Bimbo S.a.b. DE C.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
