Portfolio overview

Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG and PH has been granted 114 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG and PH at rank #3,295 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 46 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01R (ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS; STRUCTURAL ASSOCIATIONS OF A PLURALITY OF MUTUALLY-INSULATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTING ELEMENTS; COUPLING DEVICES; CURRENT COLLECTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG and PH is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 57.7/100 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 65 grants, compared with 49 in the 2015–2019 window — a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG and PH's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 46 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG and PH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
