Portfolio overview

RIMOWA GmbH has been granted 49 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing RIMOWA GmbH at rank #6,832 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 2.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A45C (PURSES; LUGGAGE; HAND CARRIED BAGS). As a Foreign Corporation, RIMOWA GmbH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 30.7/100 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 15 grants, compared with 34 in the 2015–2019 window — a -56% 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. RIMOWA GmbH's 2.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark RIMOWA GmbH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Rimowa's 49 grants land it in the top 65% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — Rimowa ranks #6,832 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A45C — see who else leads that technology area. A45C leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
