Portfolio overview

Washtech Holding Gmbh has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Washtech Holding Gmbh at rank #13,242 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60S (SERVICING, CLEANING, REPAIRING, SUPPORTING, LIFTING, OR MANOEUVRING OF VEHICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Washtech Holding Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Washtech sits between Vesuvius Group, S.a. (23 patents, rank #13,238) and WIAB Water Innovation AB (23 patents, rank #13,246) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.4/100 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 22 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2100% 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. Washtech Holding Gmbh's 15.2 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 Washtech Holding 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.
