Portfolio overview
Microchip Technology Germany Gmbh II & Co. KG has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Microchip Technology Germany Gmbh II & Co. KG at rank #41,583 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H03K (PULSE TECHNIQUE). As a Foreign Corporation, Microchip Technology Germany Gmbh II & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Microchip sits between MH Technologies Inc. (6 patents, rank #41,579) and Midaco Corporation (6 patents, rank #41,587) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.0/100 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 1 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -80% 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. Microchip Technology Germany Gmbh II & Co. KG's 24.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Microchip Technology Germany Gmbh II & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Microchip's 6 grants land it in the top 67% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Microchip ranks #41,583 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H03K - see who else leads that technology area. H03K leaders
- 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.
