Portfolio overview
MAN Diesel & Turbo SE has been granted 52 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing MAN Diesel & Turbo SE at rank #6,459 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 46 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in F01D (NON-POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT MACHINES OR ENGINES, e.g. STEAM TURBINES). As a Foreign Corporation, MAN Diesel & Turbo SE is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.9/100 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 0 grants, compared with 52 in the 2015–2019 window — a -100% 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. MAN Diesel & Turbo SE's 10.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 46 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MAN Diesel & Turbo SE against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
