USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 5 technology areas, active 2018–2024. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F16D (COUPLINGS FOR TRANSMITTING ROTATION; CLUTCHES; BRAKES).
The verdict
Pintsch holds 5 US patents across 5 technology areas, rank #49,526 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Pintsch Bubenzer Gmbh has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing Pintsch Bubenzer Gmbh at rank #49,526 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16D (COUPLINGS FOR TRANSMITTING ROTATION; CLUTCHES; BRAKES). As a Foreign Corporation, Pintsch Bubenzer Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Pintsch sits between Pilofocus, Inc. (5 patents, rank #49,522) and Piston OPW, Inc. (5 patents, rank #49,530) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 24.2/100 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 2 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% 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. Pintsch Bubenzer Gmbh's 13.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Pintsch Bubenzer Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Pintsch's 5 grants land it in the top 86% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
