Portfolio overview

Webasto SE has been granted 304 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Webasto SE at rank #1,383 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 91 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60J (WINDOWS, WINDSCREENS, NON-FIXED ROOFS, DOORS, OR SIMILAR DEVICES FOR VEHICLES; REMOVABLE EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE COVERINGS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Webasto SE is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Webasto sits between Avent, Inc. (304 patents, rank #1,379) and Verint Americas Inc. (303 patents, rank #1,387) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.4/100 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 214 grants, compared with 90 in the 2015–2019 window, a +138% 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. Webasto SE's 11.2 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 91 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Webasto SE 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.
