USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 20 technology areas, active 2017–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE).
The verdict
Stratec holds 9 US patents across 20 technology areas, rank #30,104 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Stratec Consumables Gmbh has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2017 and 2022, placing Stratec Consumables Gmbh at rank #30,104 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B01L (CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS FOR GENERAL USE). As a Foreign Corporation, Stratec Consumables Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Stratec sits between Steere Enterprises, Inc. (9 patents, rank #30,100) and SUN AND Steel Solar Llc (9 patents, rank #30,108) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.8/100 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. Stratec Consumables Gmbh'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 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Stratec Consumables Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Stratec's 9 grants land it in the top 58% 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.
