Portfolio overview

Vandewiele Nv has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Vandewiele Nv at rank #13,769 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in D05C (EMBROIDERING; TUFTING). As a Foreign Corporation, Vandewiele Nv is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Vandewiele sits between Viant AS&O Holdings, Llc (22 patents, rank #13,765) and Vinyl Development Llc (22 patents, rank #13,773) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.9/100 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 20 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +900% 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. Vandewiele Nv's 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vandewiele Nv against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
