Portfolio overview

Robert Bürkle Gmbh has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Robert Bürkle Gmbh at rank #42,693 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B05B (SPRAYING APPARATUS; ATOMISING APPARATUS; NOZZLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Robert Bürkle Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Robert sits between Risi Stone Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,689) and Robust AI, Inc. (6 patents, rank #42,697) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.8/100 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 4 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +100% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Robert Bürkle Gmbh's 20.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Robert Bürkle Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Robert's 6 grants land it in the top 14% 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 - Robert ranks #42,693 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B05B - see who else leads that technology area. B05B 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.
