Portfolio overview

Thyssenkrupp Ag has been granted 665 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Thyssenkrupp Ag at rank #676 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 200 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62D (MOTOR VEHICLES; TRAILERS). As a Foreign Corporation, Thyssenkrupp Ag is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, thyssenkrupp sits between Kuraray Co., Ltd. (669 patents, rank #672) and Ordos Yuansheng Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (661 patents, rank #680) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.9/100 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 509 grants, compared with 156 in the 2015–2019 window, a +226% 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. Thyssenkrupp Ag's 14.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Thyssenkrupp Ag against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
