Portfolio overview

Homag Holzbearbeitungssysteme Gmbh has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Homag Holzbearbeitungssysteme Gmbh at rank #16,866 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B27D (WORKING VENEER OR PLYWOOD). As a Foreign Corporation, Homag Holzbearbeitungssysteme Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Homag sits between Hydac Systems & Services Gmbh (17 patents, rank #16,862) and Hydrostor Inc. (17 patents, rank #16,870) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 14 in the 2015–2019 window, a -79% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Homag Holzbearbeitungssysteme Gmbh's 10.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Homag Holzbearbeitungssysteme 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.
