SCHOTT PHARMA AG & CO. KGAA has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing SCHOTT PHARMA AG & CO. KGAA at rank #13,133 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61J (CONTAINERS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR MEDICAL OR PHARMACEUTICAL PURPOSES; DEVICES OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR BRINGING PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS INTO PARTICULAR PHYSICAL OR ADMINISTERING FORMS; DEVICES ). As a Foreign Corporation, SCHOTT PHARMA AG & CO. KGAA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 56.2/100 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. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 23 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. SCHOTT PHARMA AG & CO. KGAA's 18.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SCHOTT PHARMA AG & CO. KGAA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
