Portfolio overview

Hansgrohe SE has been granted 435 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Hansgrohe SE at rank #1,009 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in E03C (DOMESTIC PLUMBING INSTALLATIONS FOR FRESH WATER OR WASTE WATER ; SINKS). As a Foreign Corporation, Hansgrohe SE is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hansgrohe sits between Block, Inc. (437 patents, rank #1,005) and Resmed Corp. (434 patents, rank #1,013) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.0/100 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 254 grants, compared with 181 in the 2015–2019 window, a +40% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Hansgrohe SE's 2.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hansgrohe SE against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
