Portfolio overview
Osram OLED GMBH has been granted 781 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Osram OLED GMBH at rank #576 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 97 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10H (INORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES HAVING POTENTIAL BARRIERS). As a Foreign Corporation, Osram OLED GMBH is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.3/100 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 588 grants, compared with 193 in the 2015–2019 window — a +205% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Osram OLED GMBH's 15.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 97 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Osram OLED GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
