Portfolio overview

Maersk Container Industry A/s has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Maersk Container Industry A/s at rank #26,780 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F25D (REFRIGERATORS; COLD ROOMS; ICE-BOXES; COOLING OR FREEZING APPARATUS NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Maersk Container Industry A/s is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Maersk sits between M-flow Technologies Limited (10 patents, rank #26,776) and Mammoet USA South, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,784) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.7/100 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 7 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +133% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Maersk Container Industry A/s's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Maersk Container Industry A/s against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
