Portfolio overview

APTAR FRANCE SAS has been granted 233 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing APTAR FRANCE SAS at rank #1,743 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B05B (SPRAYING APPARATUS; ATOMISING APPARATUS; NOZZLES). As a Foreign Corporation, APTAR FRANCE SAS is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.4/100 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 115 grants, compared with 118 in the 2015–2019 window — a -3% 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. APTAR FRANCE SAS's 11.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 38 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark APTAR FRANCE SAS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
