The verdict
iad holds 9 US patents across 21 technology areas, rank #30,679 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Iad Gesellschaft Für Informatik, Automatisierung Und Datenverarbeitung Mbh has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Iad Gesellschaft Für Informatik, Automatisierung Und Datenverarbeitung Mbh at rank #30,679 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04B (TRANSMISSION). As a Foreign Corporation, Iad Gesellschaft Für Informatik, Automatisierung Und Datenverarbeitung Mbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, iad sits between En-gauge, Inc. (9 patents, rank #30,675) and Iteos Therapeutics Sa (9 patents, rank #30,683) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.6/100 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 3 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. Iad Gesellschaft Für Informatik, Automatisierung Und Datenverarbeitung Mbh's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Iad Gesellschaft Für Informatik, Automatisierung Und Datenverarbeitung Mbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
iad's 9 grants land it in the top 25% 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.
