Heineken Supply Chain B.V.

Heineken Supply Chain B.V. has been granted 71 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Heineken Supply Chain B.V. at rank #4,884 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B67D (DISPENSING, DELIVERING OR TRANSFERRING LIQUIDS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Heineken Supply Chain B.V. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.3/100 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 46 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window — a +84% 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. Heineken Supply Chain B.V.'s 22.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, 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 Heineken Supply Chain B.V. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
