Portfolio overview

Voestalpine Precision Strip Gmbh has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing Voestalpine Precision Strip Gmbh at rank #33,836 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B23D (PLANING; SLOTTING; SHEARING; BROACHING; SAWING; FILING; SCRAPING; LIKE OPERATIONS FOR WORKING METAL BY REMOVING MATERIAL, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Voestalpine Precision Strip Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Voestalpine sits between Vital Biosciences Inc. (8 patents, rank #33,832) and Volution Immuno Pharmaceuticals Sa (8 patents, rank #33,840) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 29.9/100 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 3 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -40% 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. Voestalpine Precision Strip Gmbh's 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Voestalpine Precision Strip Gmbh 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.
