Portfolio overview

Sew-eurodrive Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 329 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sew-eurodrive Gmbh & Co. KG at rank #1,288 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 95 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16H (GEARING). As a Foreign Corporation, Sew-eurodrive Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sew-eurodrive sits between Kunshan Go-visionox Opto-electronics Co., Ltd (329 patents, rank #1,284) and Brother Industries, Ltd. (327 patents, rank #1,292) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.0/100 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 229 grants, compared with 100 in the 2015–2019 window, a +129% 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. Sew-eurodrive Gmbh & Co. KG's 18.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 95 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sew-eurodrive Gmbh & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
