The verdict
Tiense holds 10 US patents across 20 technology areas, rank #27,586 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Tiense Suikerraffinaderij N.v. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Tiense Suikerraffinaderij N.v. at rank #27,586 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 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, Tiense Suikerraffinaderij N.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tiense sits between Thomas Helledays Stiftelse För Medicinsk Forskning (10 patents, rank #27,582) and TOHO Tenax Co., Ltd. (10 patents, rank #27,590) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.0/100 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 4 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% 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. Tiense Suikerraffinaderij N.v.'s 14.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tiense Suikerraffinaderij N.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Tiense's 10 grants land it in the top 54% 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.
