The verdict
Hubtex holds 24 US patents across 12 technology areas, rank #12,478 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hubtex Maschinenbau Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Hubtex Maschinenbau Gmbh & Co. KG at rank #12,478 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B66F (HOISTING, LIFTING, HAULING OR PUSHING, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. DEVICES WHICH APPLY A LIFTING OR PUSHING FORCE DIRECTLY TO THE SURFACE OF A LOAD). As a Foreign Corporation, Hubtex Maschinenbau Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hubtex sits between Honda Electronics Co., Ltd. (24 patents, rank #12,474) and IB Appliances US Holdings, Llc (24 patents, rank #12,482) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.8/100 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 15 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a +67% 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. Hubtex Maschinenbau Gmbh & Co. KG's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hubtex Maschinenbau Gmbh & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hubtex's 24 grants land it in the top 27% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
