Portfolio overview
Union Engineering A/s has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2017 and 2022, placing Union Engineering A/s at rank #43,785 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02C (CAPTURE, STORAGE, SEQUESTRATION OR DISPOSAL OF GREENHOUSE GASES [GHG]). As a Foreign Corporation, Union Engineering A/s is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Union sits between UMF Corporation (6 patents, rank #43,781) and Unitronics Automated Solutions Ltd (6 patents, rank #43,789) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.5/100 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 3 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Union Engineering A/s's 20.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Union Engineering A/s against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Union's 6 grants land it in the top 49% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
- Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Union ranks #43,785 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in Y02C - see who else leads that technology area. Y02C leaders
- Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works
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.
