Portfolio overview

Voith Patent Gmbh has been granted 301 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Voith Patent Gmbh at rank #1,401 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 124 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in D21F (PAPER-MAKING MACHINES; METHODS OF PRODUCING PAPER THEREON). As a Foreign Corporation, Voith Patent Gmbh is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Voith sits between Skechers U.s.a., Inc. II (302 patents, rank #1,397) and Baxalta Incorporated (300 patents, rank #1,405) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.7/100 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 173 grants, compared with 128 in the 2015–2019 window, a +35% 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. Voith Patent Gmbh's 14.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Voith Patent 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.
