USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 11 granted patents across 8 technology areas, active 2016–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A43B (CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF FOOTWEAR; PARTS OF FOOTWEAR).
The verdict
Tecnica holds 11 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #25,335 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Tecnica Group S.p.a. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2016 and 2023, placing Tecnica Group S.p.a. at rank #25,335 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A43B (CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF FOOTWEAR; PARTS OF FOOTWEAR). As a Foreign Corporation, Tecnica Group S.p.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tecnica sits between Technechnophage, Investigacao E Desenvolvimento EM Biotecnologia, Sa (11 patents, rank #25,331) and Teleflex LIFE Sciences PTE. Ltd. (11 patents, rank #25,339) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.3/100 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 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -17% 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. Tecnica Group S.p.a.'s 7.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tecnica Group S.p.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Tecnica's 11 grants land it in the top 77% 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.
