Portfolio overview
Marel Further Processing B.v. has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Marel Further Processing B.v. at rank #12,539 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A22C (PROCESSING MEAT, POULTRY, OR FISH). As a Foreign Corporation, Marel Further Processing B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Marel sits between Lyondellbasell Acetyls, Llc (24 patents, rank #12,535) and Medicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (24 patents, rank #12,543) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.7/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 24 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Marel Further Processing B.v.'s 15.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Marel Further Processing B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
