Portfolio overview

Inalfa ROOF Systems Group B.v. has been granted 135 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Inalfa ROOF Systems Group B.v. at rank #2,840 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60J (WINDOWS, WINDSCREENS, NON-FIXED ROOFS, DOORS, OR SIMILAR DEVICES FOR VEHICLES; REMOVABLE EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE COVERINGS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Inalfa ROOF Systems Group B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Inalfa sits between Chemocentryx, Inc. (135 patents, rank #2,836) and Metra Electronics Corp. (135 patents, rank #2,844) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.8/100 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 75 grants, compared with 60 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% 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. Inalfa ROOF Systems Group B.v.'s 16.7 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 Inalfa ROOF Systems Group B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
