Portfolio overview

Minimax Viking Research & Development Gmbh has been granted 55 US utility patents between 2020 and 2024, placing Minimax Viking Research & Development Gmbh at rank #6,175 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A62C (FIRE-FIGHTING). As a Foreign Corporation, Minimax Viking Research & Development Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Minimax sits between Microport Orthopedics Holdings, Inc. (55 patents, rank #6,171) and Prysm, Inc. (55 patents, rank #6,179) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.9/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2024, with 55 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Minimax Viking Research & Development Gmbh's 22.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Minimax Viking Research & Development 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.
