Portfolio overview

Wincor Nixdorf International Gmbh has been granted 176 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Wincor Nixdorf International Gmbh at rank #2,236 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 49 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07D (HANDLING OF COINS OR VALUABLE PAPERS, e.g. TESTING, SORTING BY DENOMINATIONS, COUNTING, DISPENSING, CHANGING OR DEPOSITING). As a Foreign Corporation, Wincor Nixdorf International Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Wincor sits between Rapiscan Systems, Inc. (176 patents, rank #2,232) and Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. (175 patents, rank #2,240) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.7/100 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 79 grants, compared with 97 in the 2015–2019 window, a -19% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Wincor Nixdorf International Gmbh's 12.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 49 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wincor Nixdorf International 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.
