Portfolio overview

Wacker Nueson Production Americas Llc has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing Wacker Nueson Production Americas Llc at rank #19,338 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in E02F (DREDGING; SOIL-SHIFTING). As a US Corporation, Wacker Nueson Production Americas Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Wacker sits between Wanhua Chemical (ningbo) Co., Ltd. (15 patents, rank #19,334) and Westfield Outdoor, Inc. (15 patents, rank #19,342) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.3/100 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 0 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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. Wacker Nueson Production Americas Llc's 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wacker Nueson Production Americas Llc 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.
