Portfolio overview
Heimann Sensor Gmbh has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing Heimann Sensor Gmbh at rank #28,982 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01J (MEASUREMENT OF INTENSITY, VELOCITY, SPECTRAL CONTENT, POLARISATION, PHASE OR PULSE CHARACTERISTICS OF INFRARED, VISIBLE OR ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT; COLORIMETRY; RADIATION PYROMETRY). As a Foreign Corporation, Heimann Sensor Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Heimann sits between Healthy Foods, Llc (9 patents, rank #28,978) and Hengdian Group Tospo Lighting Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #28,986) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.9/100 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 8 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +700% 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. Heimann Sensor Gmbh's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Heimann Sensor Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
