Portfolio overview

Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen Gmbh has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2017 and 2024, placing Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen Gmbh at rank #36,710 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29B (PREPARATION OR PRETREATMENT OF THE MATERIAL TO BE SHAPED; MAKING GRANULES OR PREFORMS; RECOVERY OF PLASTICS OR OTHER CONSTITUENTS OF WASTE MATERIAL CONTAINING PLASTICS). As a Foreign Corporation, Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Next sits between New Widetech Industries Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #36,706) and Nextel Communications, Inc. (7 patents, rank #36,714) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.7/100 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 4 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% 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. Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen Gmbh's 14.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen 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.
