The verdict
Klöckner holds 9 US patents across 16 technology areas, rank #29,210 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Klöckner Pentaplast Of America, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Klöckner Pentaplast Of America, Inc. at rank #29,210 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08J (WORKING-UP; GENERAL PROCESSES OF COMPOUNDING; AFTER-TREATMENT NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASSES C08B, C08C, C08F, C08G or C08H). As a US Corporation, Klöckner Pentaplast Of America, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Klöckner sits between Kessler & Co. Gmbh & Co. KG (9 patents, rank #29,206) and Kolberg-pioneer, Inc. (9 patents, rank #29,214) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.9/100 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 8 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +700% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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 Of America, Inc.'s 19.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Klöckner Pentaplast Of America, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Klöckner's 9 grants land it in the top 8% 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.
