What this shows Helmholtz-zentrum Hereon Gmbh stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, SPAN-YRS, BOOK-RICH. Volume places it #19,860 of 50,000; Innovation Score 56.6/100 sits in the top 6% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Havis, Inc. (±0 grants).
Helmholtz-zentrum Hereon Gmbh has been granted 14 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Helmholtz-zentrum Hereon Gmbh at #19,860 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, Helmholtz-zentrum Hereon Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Helmholtz-zentrum sits between Havis, Inc. (14 patents, rank #19,862) and High Power Opto, Inc. (14 patents, rank #19,870) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.6/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 14 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Helmholtz-zentrum Hereon Gmbh's 15.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 26 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
