Portfolio overview

RIJK Zwaan Zaadteelt EN Zaadhandel B.v. has been granted 330 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing RIJK Zwaan Zaadteelt EN Zaadhandel B.v. at rank #1,280 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01H (NEW PLANTS OR ; NON-TRANSGENIC; PROCESSES FOR OBTAINING THEM; PLANT REPRODUCTION BY TISSUE CULTURE TECHNIQUES). As a Foreign Corporation, RIJK Zwaan Zaadteelt EN Zaadhandel B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, RIJK sits between GPCP IP Holdings Llc (331 patents, rank #1,276) and Kunshan Go-visionox Opto-electronics Co., Ltd (329 patents, rank #1,284) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.7/100 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 137 grants, compared with 193 in the 2015–2019 window, a -29% 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. RIJK Zwaan Zaadteelt EN Zaadhandel B.v.'s 23.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark RIJK Zwaan Zaadteelt EN Zaadhandel B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
