Agie Charmilles SA

Agie Charmilles SA has been granted 23 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Agie Charmilles SA at rank #12,804 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B23H (WORKING OF METAL BY THE ACTION OF A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF ELECTRIC CURRENT ON A WORKPIECE USING AN ELECTRODE WHICH TAKES THE PLACE OF A TOOL; SUCH WORKING COMBINED WITH OTHER FORMS OF WORKING OF METAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Agie Charmilles SA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 40.2/100 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 15 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window — a +88% 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. Agie Charmilles SA's 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Agie Charmilles SA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
