Portfolio overview
Itrec B.v. has been granted 166 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Itrec B.v. at rank #2,360 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a Foreign Corporation, Itrec B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Itrec sits between Canva Pty Ltd (166 patents, rank #2,356) and Stradvision, Inc. (166 patents, rank #2,364) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.5/100 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 77 grants, compared with 89 in the 2015–2019 window, a -13% 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. Itrec B.v.'s 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Itrec B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
