Portfolio overview

Medizinische Hochschule Hannover has been granted 68 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Medizinische Hochschule Hannover at rank #5,092 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a Foreign Corporation, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Medizinische sits between Komori Corporation (68 patents, rank #5,088) and Nelson Irrigation Corporation (68 patents, rank #5,096) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.1/100 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 36 grants, compared with 32 in the 2015–2019 window, a +13% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Medizinische Hochschule Hannover's 13.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Medizinische Hochschule Hannover against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
