Portfolio overview

Trumpf Werkzeugmaschinen Gmbh + Co. KG has been granted 160 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Trumpf Werkzeugmaschinen Gmbh + Co. KG at rank #2,451 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 52 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B23K (SOLDERING OR UNSOLDERING; WELDING; CLADDING OR PLATING BY SOLDERING OR WELDING; CUTTING BY APPLYING HEAT LOCALLY, e.g. FLAME CUTTING; WORKING BY LASER BEAM). As a Foreign Corporation, Trumpf Werkzeugmaschinen Gmbh + Co. KG is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Trumpf sits between Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (160 patents, rank #2,447) and Elemental Scientific, Inc. (159 patents, rank #2,455) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.7/100 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 70 grants, compared with 90 in the 2015–2019 window, a -22% 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. Trumpf Werkzeugmaschinen Gmbh + Co. KG's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 52 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Trumpf Werkzeugmaschinen Gmbh + Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
