What this shows Thomas Magnete Gmbh stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-FLAT, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #13,733 of 50,000; Innovation Score 30.3/100 sits in the top 66% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is The Government Of The United States, As Represented By The Director, National Security Agency (±0 grants).
Thomas Magnete Gmbh has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Thomas Magnete Gmbh at #13,733 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in F04B (POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS; PUMPS). As a Foreign Corporation, Thomas Magnete Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Thomas sits between The Government Of The United States Of America As Represented By The Secretary Of The Deptartment Of Health And Human Services (22 patents, rank #13,740) and Transcend Information, Inc. (22 patents, rank #13,748) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.3/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 10 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -9% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Thomas Magnete Gmbh's 11.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 7 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
