According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), Technische Universität Darmstadt ranks #9,387 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does Technische Universität Darmstadt hold?

Technische Universität Darmstadt holds 34 US utility patents granted between 2015 and 2025, spanning 61 technology areas.

What is Technische Universität Darmstadt's Innovation Score?

Technische Universität Darmstadt has an Innovation Score of 54.4 out of 100 (top 8% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

Is Technische Universität Darmstadt's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

Technische Universität Darmstadt's recent grant velocity is +200% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). This indicates accelerating grant output.

What does claim depth mean for Technische Universität Darmstadt's patents?

Technische Universität Darmstadt's patents average 15.1 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the Technische Universität Darmstadt patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Technische's Innovation Score is 54.4/100 (top 8% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Technische?

Each dot is one of Technische’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Technische’s own 15.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Technische's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Technische Universität Darmstadt received 21 grants versus 7 in 2015–2019 (+200% equal-window velocity, above median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2021 at 8 grants and bottomed in 2016 at 1. Lead class Y02E accounts for 11.8% of the portfolio across 61 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Tecres S.P.A. (#9,387) and UFI Filters S.P.A. (#9,395).

Technische's three-year grant acceleration

Technische Universität Darmstadt shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
