Portfolio overview

Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 39 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik Gmbh & Co. KG at rank #8,216 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29C (SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING). As a Foreign Corporation, Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Herrmann sits between Gen9, Inc. (39 patents, rank #8,212) and Hypermed Imaging, Inc. (39 patents, rank #8,220) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.6/100 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 23 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window, a +44% 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. Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik Gmbh & Co. KG's 15.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 28 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik Gmbh & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
