USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 6 granted patents across 8 technology areas, active 2019–2021. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B21J (FORGING; HAMMERING; PRESSING METAL; RIVETING; FORGE FURNACES).
The verdict
Weber holds 6 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #44,049 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Weber Schraubautomaten Gmbh has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2019 and 2021, placing Weber Schraubautomaten Gmbh at rank #44,049 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B21J (FORGING; HAMMERING; PRESSING METAL; RIVETING; FORGE FURNACES). As a Foreign Corporation, Weber Schraubautomaten Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Weber sits between Wepay, Inc. (6 patents, rank #44,045) and Well-sense Technology Limited (6 patents, rank #44,053) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.1/100 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 5 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +400% 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. Weber Schraubautomaten Gmbh's 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Weber Schraubautomaten Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Weber's 6 grants land it in the top 84% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
