Portfolio overview

Miba Sinter Austria Gmbh has been granted 51 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Miba Sinter Austria Gmbh at rank #6,566 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B22F (WORKING METALLIC POWDER; MANUFACTURE OF ARTICLES FROM METALLIC POWDER; MAKING METALLIC POWDER ; APPARATUS OR DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR METALLIC POWDER). As a Foreign Corporation, Miba Sinter Austria Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Miba sits between Mitek Holdings, Inc. (51 patents, rank #6,562) and Nissin Foods Holdings Co., Ltd. (51 patents, rank #6,570) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.8/100 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 21 grants, compared with 30 in the 2015–2019 window, a -30% 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. Miba Sinter Austria Gmbh's 9.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Miba Sinter Austria Gmbh 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.
