Portfolio overview
Vita Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG has been granted 31 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Vita Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG at rank #10,224 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61C (DENTISTRY; APPARATUS OR METHODS FOR ORAL OR DENTAL HYGIENE). As a Foreign Corporation, Vita Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 37.1/100 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 11 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a -45% 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. Vita Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG's 11.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vita Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
