Portfolio overview

Hauni Maschinenbau Gmbh has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Hauni Maschinenbau Gmbh at rank #15,329 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A24F (SMOKERS' REQUISITES; MATCH BOXES; SIMULATED SMOKING DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Hauni Maschinenbau Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hauni sits between Hades-gaming Corp. (19 patents, rank #15,325) and Hengst SE (19 patents, rank #15,333) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.6/100 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 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a +38% 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. Hauni Maschinenbau Gmbh's 17.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hauni Maschinenbau Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
