Portfolio overview

MANKIEWICZ GEBR. & CO. (GMBH & CO.KG) has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing MANKIEWICZ GEBR. & CO. (GMBH & CO.KG) at rank #15,438 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09D (COATING COMPOSITIONS, e.g. PAINTS, VARNISHES OR LACQUERS; FILLING PASTES; CHEMICAL PAINT OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; CORRECTING FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; PASTES OR SOLIDS FOR COLOURING OR PRINTING; USE OF MATERI). As a Foreign Corporation, MANKIEWICZ GEBR. & CO. (GMBH & CO.KG) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.4/100 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 8 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -27% 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. MANKIEWICZ GEBR. & CO. (GMBH & CO.KG)'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 28 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MANKIEWICZ GEBR. & CO. (GMBH & CO.KG) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
