What this shows SSB Wind Systems Gmbh & Co. KG stamps GRANTS-MICRO, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #15,647 of 50,000; Innovation Score 36.8/100 sits in the top 45% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Spinal Surgical Strategies, Inc. (±0 grants).
SSB Wind Systems Gmbh & Co. KG has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing SSB Wind Systems Gmbh & Co. KG at #15,647 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02E (REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS [GHG] EMISSIONS, RELATED TO ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION OR DISTRIBUTION). As a Foreign Corporation, SSB Wind Systems Gmbh & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SSB sits between Spinal Surgical Strategies, Inc. (19 patents, rank #15,612) and Strong Industries, Inc. (19 patents, rank #15,620) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.8/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 0 grants, compared with 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. SSB Wind Systems Gmbh & Co. KG's 19.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 18 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
