The verdict
Stabila holds 9 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #30,098 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Stabila Messgeräte Gustav Ullrich Gmbh has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Stabila Messgeräte Gustav Ullrich Gmbh at rank #30,098 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01C (MEASURING DISTANCES, LEVELS OR BEARINGS; SURVEYING; NAVIGATION; GYROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS; PHOTOGRAMMETRY OR VIDEOGRAMMETRY). As a Foreign Corporation, Stabila Messgeräte Gustav Ullrich Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Stabila sits between Spreadtrum Semiconductor (nanjing) Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #30,094) and Stichting Vu-vumc (9 patents, rank #30,102) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.2/100 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 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +25% 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. Stabila Messgeräte Gustav Ullrich Gmbh's 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Stabila Messgeräte Gustav Ullrich Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Stabila's 9 grants land it in the top 53% 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.
