The verdict
Magna holds 11 US patents across 16 technology areas, rank #24,778 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Magna Electronics Solutions Gmbh has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Magna Electronics Solutions Gmbh at rank #24,778 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01S (RADIO DIRECTION-FINDING; RADIO NAVIGATION; DETERMINING DISTANCE OR VELOCITY BY USE OF RADIO WAVES; LOCATING OR PRESENCE-DETECTING BY USE OF THE REFLECTION OR RERADIATION OF RADIO WAVES; ANALOGOUS ARRA). As a Foreign Corporation, Magna Electronics Solutions Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Magna sits between Macropoint, Llc (11 patents, rank #24,774) and Manheim Investments, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,782) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.1/100 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 2 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -78% 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. Magna Electronics Solutions Gmbh's 19.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Magna Electronics Solutions Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Magna's 11 grants land it in the top 47% 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.
