Portfolio overview

Arkema France has been granted 892 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Arkema France at rank #500 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 142 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in C07C (ACYCLIC OR CARBOCYCLIC COMPOUNDS). As a Foreign Corporation, Arkema France is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Arkema sits between Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (902 patents, rank #496) and Epistar Corporation (889 patents, rank #504) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.2/100 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 470 grants, compared with 422 in the 2015–2019 window, a +11% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Arkema France's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Arkema France 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.
