Portfolio overview

HYDRANGEA BREEDERS ASSOCIATION B.V. has been granted 81 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing HYDRANGEA BREEDERS ASSOCIATION B.V. at rank #4,382 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 0 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.0 claims per patent. As a Foreign Corporation, HYDRANGEA BREEDERS ASSOCIATION B.V. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 19.2/100 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 40 grants, compared with 41 in the 2015–2019 window — a -2% 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. HYDRANGEA BREEDERS ASSOCIATION B.V.'s 1.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 0 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HYDRANGEA BREEDERS ASSOCIATION B.V. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Hydrangea's 81 grants land it in the top 94% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — Hydrangea ranks #4,382 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
