Portfolio overview

Nunhems B.v. has been granted 214 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nunhems B.v. at rank #1,880 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01H (NEW PLANTS OR ; NON-TRANSGENIC; PROCESSES FOR OBTAINING THEM; PLANT REPRODUCTION BY TISSUE CULTURE TECHNIQUES). As a Foreign Corporation, Nunhems B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nunhems sits between Johnson Electric International Ag (214 patents, rank #1,876) and Brown University (213 patents, rank #1,884) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.6/100 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 117 grants, compared with 97 in the 2015–2019 window, a +21% 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. Nunhems B.v.'s 22.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nunhems B.v. 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.
