Portfolio overview

Thueringisches Institute FUER Textile- UND Kunstostoff-forschung E.v. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Thueringisches Institute FUER Textile- UND Kunstostoff-forschung E.v. at rank #33,549 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09K (MATERIALS FOR MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS, NOT PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE). As a Foreign Corporation, Thueringisches Institute FUER Textile- UND Kunstostoff-forschung E.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Thueringisches sits between Think AND Vision Gmbh (8 patents, rank #33,545) and TILL Gmbh (8 patents, rank #33,553) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.4/100 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 1 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -86% 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. Thueringisches Institute FUER Textile- UND Kunstostoff-forschung E.v.'s 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Thueringisches Institute FUER Textile- UND Kunstostoff-forschung E.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
