of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 30 granted patents across 14 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2019. 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: A61M (DEVICES FOR INTRODUCING MEDIA INTO, OR ONTO, THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR TRANSDUCING BODY MEDIA OR FOR TAKING MEDIA FROM THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR PRODUCING OR ENDING SLEEP OR STUPOR).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Liebel-flarsheim ranks #10,388 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 30 patents across 14 technology areas.
Liebel-flarsheim Company Llc has been granted 30 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing Liebel-flarsheim Company Llc at #10,388 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61M (DEVICES FOR INTRODUCING MEDIA INTO, OR ONTO, THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR TRANSDUCING BODY MEDIA OR FOR TAKING MEDIA FROM THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR PRODUCING OR ENDING SLEEP OR STUPOR). As a US Corporation, Liebel-flarsheim Company Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Liebel-flarsheim sits between Lasermax Inc. (30 patents, rank #10,379) and LM Glasfiber A/s (30 patents, rank #10,387) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.5/100 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 0 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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 US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Liebel-flarsheim Company Llc's 24.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 14 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
Liebel-flarsheim's 30 grants land it in the top 38% 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.
