Portfolio overview

Tereos Starch & Sweeteners Belgium has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2019 and 2023, placing Tereos Starch & Sweeteners Belgium at rank #30,311 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.9 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, Tereos Starch & Sweeteners Belgium is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tereos sits between Tenfold Technologies, Llc (9 patents, rank #30,307) and TGI Technology PTE Ltd (9 patents, rank #30,315) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.5/100 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 7 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Tereos Starch & Sweeteners Belgium's 17.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tereos Starch & Sweeteners Belgium against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
