Portfolio overview

Semikron Elektronik Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 101 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Semikron Elektronik Gmbh & Co. KG at rank #3,635 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, Semikron Elektronik Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Semikron sits between Nanolumens Acquisition, Inc. (101 patents, rank #3,631) and The United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of NASA (101 patents, rank #3,639) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.9/100 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 55 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window, a +20% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Semikron Elektronik Gmbh & Co. KG's 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Semikron Elektronik Gmbh & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
