KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH

KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH has been granted 117 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH at rank #3,202 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 45 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01F (MEASURING VOLUME, VOLUME FLOW, MASS FLOW OR LIQUID LEVEL; METERING BY VOLUME). As a Foreign Corporation, KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 49.2/100 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 41 grants, compared with 76 in the 2015–2019 window — a -46% 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. KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH's 11.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 45 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
