Portfolio overview

Pierburg PUMP Technology Gmbh has been granted 90 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Pierburg PUMP Technology Gmbh at rank #4,020 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in F04C (ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS ; ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT PUMPS). As a Foreign Corporation, Pierburg PUMP Technology Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Pierburg sits between Musco Corporation (90 patents, rank #4,016) and Surefire, Llc (90 patents, rank #4,024) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.7/100 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 46 grants, compared with 44 in the 2015–2019 window, a +5% 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. Pierburg PUMP Technology Gmbh's 10.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Pierburg PUMP Technology Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
