Portfolio overview

International Tobacco Machinery Poland Sp. Z O.o. has been granted 55 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing International Tobacco Machinery Poland Sp. Z O.o. at rank #6,158 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A24C (MACHINES FOR MAKING CIGARS OR CIGARETTES). As a Foreign Corporation, International Tobacco Machinery Poland Sp. Z O.o. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, International sits between IBIS Biosciences, Inc. (55 patents, rank #6,154) and Keiper Gmbh & Co. KG (55 patents, rank #6,162) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.7/100 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 23 grants, compared with 32 in the 2015–2019 window, a -28% 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. International Tobacco Machinery Poland Sp. Z O.o.'s 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark International Tobacco Machinery Poland Sp. Z O.o. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
