Portfolio overview

SPC Sunflower Plastic Compound Gmbh has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing SPC Sunflower Plastic Compound Gmbh at rank #42,964 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29C (SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING). As a Foreign Corporation, SPC Sunflower Plastic Compound Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SPC sits between Sparck Technologies B.v. (6 patents, rank #42,960) and Spoods Gmbh (6 patents, rank #42,968) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.9/100 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 5 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +400% 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. SPC Sunflower Plastic Compound Gmbh's 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SPC Sunflower Plastic Compound Gmbh 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.
