Portfolio overview

Obrist Technologies Gmbh has been granted 17 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Obrist Technologies Gmbh at rank #17,054 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60K (ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF PROPULSION UNITS OR OF TRANSMISSIONS IN VEHICLES; ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF PLURAL DIVERSE PRIME-MOVERS IN VEHICLES; AUXILIARY DRIVES FOR VEHICLES; INSTRUMENTATION OR DASHB). As a Foreign Corporation, Obrist Technologies Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Obrist sits between Nucleus Scientific Inc. (17 patents, rank #17,050) and ON24, Inc. (17 patents, rank #17,058) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.5/100 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 9 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a +13% 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. Obrist Technologies Gmbh's 13.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Obrist Technologies 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.
