Portfolio overview

Vorwerk & Co. Interholding Gmbh has been granted 239 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Vorwerk & Co. Interholding Gmbh at rank #1,712 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 83 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47J (KITCHEN EQUIPMENT; COFFEE MILLS; SPICE MILLS; APPARATUS FOR MAKING BEVERAGES). As a Foreign Corporation, Vorwerk & Co. Interholding Gmbh is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Vorwerk sits between Entit Software Llc (239 patents, rank #1,708) and King.com Limited (238 patents, rank #1,716) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.3/100 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 167 grants, compared with 72 in the 2015–2019 window, a +132% 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. Vorwerk & Co. Interholding Gmbh's 9.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 83 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vorwerk & Co. Interholding 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.
