Overall rank by patents
#12,087
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 25 granted patents across 48 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: C08K (Use of inorganic or non-macromolecular organic substances as compounding ingredients).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Leibniz-institut ranks #12,087 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 25 patents across 48 technology areas.
Leibniz-institut Für Neue Materialien Gemeinnützige Gmbh has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Leibniz-institut Für Neue Materialien Gemeinnützige Gmbh at #12,087 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C08K (Use of inorganic or non-macromolecular organic substances as compounding ingredients). As a Foreign Corporation, Leibniz-institut Für Neue Materialien Gemeinnützige Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Leibniz-institut sits between Louisiana TECH Research Corporation (25 patents, rank #12,093) and London Johnson, Inc. (25 patents, rank #12,101) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 12 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Leibniz-institut Für Neue Materialien Gemeinnützige Gmbh's 16.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 48 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Leibniz-institut's 25 grants land it in the top 11% 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.
