What this shows Trimble Jena Gmbh stamps GRANTS-SMALL, MID-PACK, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-FLAT, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #13,216 of 50,000; Innovation Score 44.5/100 sits in the top 25% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Tidalx AI Inc. (±0 grants).
Trimble Jena Gmbh has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Trimble Jena Gmbh at #13,216 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01C (MEASURING DISTANCES, LEVELS OR BEARINGS; SURVEYING; NAVIGATION; GYROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS; PHOTOGRAMMETRY OR VIDEOGRAMMETRY). As a Foreign Corporation, Trimble Jena Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Trimble sits between Tidalx AI Inc. (23 patents, rank #13,207) and Tyco Electronics Svenska AB (23 patents, rank #13,215) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.5/100 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 12 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. Trimble Jena Gmbh's 16.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 9 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
