The verdict
Technische holds 100 US patents across 124 technology areas, rank #3,669 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Technische Universitaet Dresden has been granted 100 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Technische Universitaet Dresden at rank #3,669 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 124 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12N (MICROORGANISMS OR ENZYMES; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROPAGATING, PRESERVING, OR MAINTAINING MICROORGANISMS; MUTATION OR GENETIC ENGINEERING; CULTURE MEDIA). As a Foreign Corporation, Technische Universitaet Dresden is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Technische sits between Really Right Stuff, Llc (100 patents, rank #3,665) and Bolton Medical, Inc. (99 patents, rank #3,673) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.2/100 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 54 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window, a +17% 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 Universitaet Dresden's 13.7 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 Universitaet Dresden against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Technische's 100 grants land it in the top 5% 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.
