Portfolio overview

J.schmalz Gmbh has been granted 45 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing J.schmalz Gmbh at rank #7,285 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B25J (MANIPULATORS; CHAMBERS PROVIDED WITH MANIPULATION DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, J.schmalz Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, J.schmalz sits between In2bones USA, Llc (45 patents, rank #7,281) and Kranos IP Corporation (45 patents, rank #7,289) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.1/100 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 17 grants, compared with 28 in the 2015–2019 window, a -39% 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. J.schmalz Gmbh's 13.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark J.schmalz 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.
