Portfolio overview

SUDZUCKER AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT MANNHEIM/OCHSENFURT has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2016 and 2022, placing SUDZUCKER AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT MANNHEIM/OCHSENFURT at rank #33,279 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23L (FOODS, FOODSTUFFS OR NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; PREPARATION OR TREATMENT THEREOF). As a Foreign Corporation, SUDZUCKER AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT MANNHEIM/OCHSENFURT is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 34.1/100 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 3 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window — a -40% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. SUDZUCKER AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT MANNHEIM/OCHSENFURT's 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SUDZUCKER AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT MANNHEIM/OCHSENFURT against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
