Portfolio overview

Ludwig-maximilians-universitat Munchen has been granted 66 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ludwig-maximilians-universitat Munchen at rank #5,226 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Ludwig-maximilians-universitat Munchen is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ludwig-maximilians-universitat sits between Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (66 patents, rank #5,222) and Magseis FF Llc (66 patents, rank #5,230) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.0/100 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 28 grants, compared with 38 in the 2015–2019 window, a -26% 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. Ludwig-maximilians-universitat Munchen's 19.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 29 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ludwig-maximilians-universitat Munchen against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
