Portfolio overview

Julius BLUM Gmbh has been granted 288 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Julius BLUM Gmbh at rank #1,447 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in E05Y (INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES E05D AND E05F, RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, ELECTRIC CONTROL, POWER SUPPLY, POWER SIGNAL OR TRANSMISSION, USER INTERFACES, MOUNTING OR COUPLING, DETAIL). As a Foreign Corporation, Julius BLUM Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Julius sits between Everspin Technologies, Inc. (289 patents, rank #1,443) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (287 patents, rank #1,451) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.7/100 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 184 grants, compared with 104 in the 2015–2019 window, a +77% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Julius BLUM Gmbh's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 28 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Julius BLUM 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.
