Portfolio overview

ICGH Investment And Consulting Gmbh has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing ICGH Investment And Consulting Gmbh at rank #26,506 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 5.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21S (NON-PORTABLE LIGHTING DEVICES; SYSTEMS THEREOF; VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLE EXTERIORS). As a Foreign Corporation, ICGH Investment And Consulting Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ICGH sits between Hydrocision, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,502) and Idropan Dell'orto Depuratori S.r.l. (10 patents, rank #26,510) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2024, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. ICGH Investment And Consulting Gmbh's 5.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ICGH Investment And Consulting 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.
