Portfolio overview

Technische Universität Berlin has been granted 106 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Technische Universität Berlin at rank #3,485 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 128 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Technische Universität Berlin is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Technische sits between POET Research, Inc. (106 patents, rank #3,481) and ZF Active Safety Gmbh (106 patents, rank #3,489) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.0/100 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 59 grants, compared with 47 in the 2015–2019 window, a +26% 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. Technische Universität Berlin's 15.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Technische Universität Berlin against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Technische's 106 grants land it in the top 6% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Technische ranks #3,485 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04L - see who else leads that technology area. H04L leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
