Portfolio overview

Poly-clip System Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 54 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Poly-clip System Gmbh & Co. KG at rank #6,263 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A22C (PROCESSING MEAT, POULTRY, OR FISH). As a Foreign Corporation, Poly-clip System Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Poly-clip sits between National Oilwell DHT, L.p. (54 patents, rank #6,259) and Phase Sensitive Innovations, Inc. (54 patents, rank #6,267) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.9/100 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 20 grants, compared with 34 in the 2015–2019 window, a -41% 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. Poly-clip System Gmbh & Co. KG's 13.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Poly-clip System Gmbh & Co. KG 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.
