The verdict
Klöckner holds 5 US patents across 9 technology areas, rank #48,238 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Klöckner Pentaplast Gmbh has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Klöckner Pentaplast Gmbh at rank #48,238 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B32B (LAYERED PRODUCTS, i.e. PRODUCTS BUILT-UP OF STRATA OF FLAT OR NON-FLAT, e.g. CELLULAR OR HONEYCOMB, FORM). As a Foreign Corporation, Klöckner Pentaplast Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Klöckner sits between Klepfer Holdings, Llc (5 patents, rank #48,234) and Knowles (uk) Ltd. (5 patents, rank #48,242) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.8/100 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 4 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +300% 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. Klöckner Pentaplast Gmbh's 15.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Klöckner Pentaplast Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Klöckner's 5 grants land it in the top 22% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
