What this shows W Schonbek Llc stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-SPARSE, TYPE-USCORP, SPAN-YRS, BOOK-RICH. Volume places it #6,204 of 50,000; Innovation Score 43.5/100 sits in the top 28% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is UCB Pharma S.a. (±0 grants).
W Schonbek Llc has been granted 55 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing W Schonbek Llc at #6,204 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21V (FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OR DETAILS OF LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF; STRUCTURAL COMBINATIONS OF LIGHTING DEVICES WITH OTHER ARTICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, W Schonbek Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, W sits between UCB Pharma S.a. (55 patents, rank #6,199) and Zymeworks Inc. (55 patents, rank #6,207) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 55 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. W Schonbek Llc's 4.2 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 4 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
