Portfolio overview

Harro Hoefliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH has been granted 46 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Harro Hoefliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH at rank #7,145 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65B (MACHINES, APPARATUS OR DEVICES FOR, OR METHODS OF, PACKAGING ARTICLES OR MATERIALS; UNPACKING). As a Foreign Corporation, Harro Hoefliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.9/100 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 35 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window — a +218% 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. Harro Hoefliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH's 10.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Harro Hoefliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
