Portfolio overview

Maricap Oy has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Maricap Oy at rank #9,820 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65F (GATHERING OR REMOVAL OF DOMESTIC OR LIKE REFUSE). As a Foreign Corporation, Maricap Oy is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Maricap sits between Meiko Maschinenbau Gmbh & Co. KG (32 patents, rank #9,816) and Midrex Technologies, Inc. (32 patents, rank #9,824) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.2/100 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 10 grants, compared with 22 in the 2015–2019 window, a -55% 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. Maricap Oy's 20.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Maricap Oy against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
