Portfolio overview

ZF CV Systems Global Gmbh has been granted 57 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing ZF CV Systems Global Gmbh at #5,995 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60T (VEHICLE BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF; BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF, IN GENERAL ; ARRANGEMENT OF BRAKING ELEMENTS ON VEHICLES IN GENERAL; PORTABLE DEVICES FOR PREVENTING UNWANTED MO). As a Foreign Corporation, ZF CV Systems Global Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ZF sits between Universitat BERN (57 patents, rank #5,989) and Emomo Technology Co., Ltd. (57 patents, rank #5,997) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.8/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 57 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. ZF CV Systems Global Gmbh's 18.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 38 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
