The verdict
Hydro holds 32 US patents across 36 technology areas, rank #9,792 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hydro Aluminum Rolled Products Gmbh has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Hydro Aluminum Rolled Products Gmbh at rank #9,792 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C22C (ALLOYS). As a Foreign Corporation, Hydro Aluminum Rolled Products Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hydro sits between Harvest International, Inc. (32 patents, rank #9,788) and Innovative Medical Products, Inc. (32 patents, rank #9,796) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.5/100 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 16 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% 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. Hydro Aluminum Rolled Products Gmbh's 14.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hydro Aluminum Rolled Products Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hydro's 32 grants land it in the top 28% 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.
