The verdict
Schwarze holds 6 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #43,110 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Schwarze Industries Llc has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Schwarze Industries Llc at rank #43,110 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in E01H (STREET CLEANING; CLEANING OF PERMANENT WAYS; CLEANING BEACHES; DISPERSING ; OR PREVENTING; FOG IN GENERAL ; CLEANING STREET OR RAILWAY FURNITURE OR TUNNEL WALLS). As a US Corporation, Schwarze Industries Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Schwarze sits between Scheppach Fabrikation Von Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen Gmbh (6 patents, rank #43,106) and Scion Limited Medical (6 patents, rank #43,114) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.7/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Schwarze Industries Llc's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Schwarze Industries Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Schwarze's 6 grants land it in the top 82% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
