Portfolio overview

N.V. NEDERLANDSCHE APPARATENFABRIEK NEDAP has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing N.V. NEDERLANDSCHE APPARATENFABRIEK NEDAP at rank #15,473 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01K (ANIMAL HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; REARING OR BREEDING ANIMALS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; NEW BREEDS OF ANIMALS). As a Foreign Corporation, N.V. NEDERLANDSCHE APPARATENFABRIEK NEDAP is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.8/100 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 7 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window — a -42% 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. N.V. NEDERLANDSCHE APPARATENFABRIEK NEDAP's 26.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark N.V. NEDERLANDSCHE APPARATENFABRIEK NEDAP against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
