What this shows Meyer Burger (germany) Gmbh stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #17,898 of 50,000; Innovation Score 42.8/100 sits in the top 30% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Mercer University (±0 grants).
Meyer Burger (germany) Gmbh has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Meyer Burger (germany) Gmbh at #17,898 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10F (INORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES SENSITIVE TO INFRARED RADIATION, LIGHT, ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OF SHORTER WAVELENGTH OR CORPUSCULAR RADIATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Meyer Burger (germany) Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Meyer sits between Mercer University (16 patents, rank #17,876) and MIN Hsiang Corporation (16 patents, rank #17,884) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.8/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 9 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +125% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Meyer Burger (germany) Gmbh's 15.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 15 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
