The verdict
Areco holds 6 US patents across 10 technology areas, rank #38,680 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Areco Finances ET Technologie—arfitec has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Areco Finances ET Technologie—arfitec at rank #38,680 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B05B (SPRAYING APPARATUS; ATOMISING APPARATUS; NOZZLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Areco Finances ET Technologie—arfitec is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Areco sits between ARC Medical Design Limited (6 patents, rank #38,676) and Arize AI, Inc. (6 patents, rank #38,684) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.5/100 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 2 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% 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. Areco Finances ET Technologie—arfitec's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Areco Finances ET Technologie—arfitec against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Areco's 6 grants land it in the top 80% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
