The verdict
Assa holds 140 US patents across 52 technology areas, rank #2,753 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Assa Abloy Entrance Systems AB has been granted 140 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Assa Abloy Entrance Systems AB at rank #2,753 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 52 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in E05Y (INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES E05D AND E05F, RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, ELECTRIC CONTROL, POWER SUPPLY, POWER SIGNAL OR TRANSMISSION, USER INTERFACES, MOUNTING OR COUPLING, DETAIL). As a Foreign Corporation, Assa Abloy Entrance Systems AB is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Assa sits between Therabody, Inc. (141 patents, rank #2,749) and Electricite DE France (140 patents, rank #2,757) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.9/100 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 111 grants, compared with 29 in the 2015–2019 window, a +283% 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. Assa Abloy Entrance Systems AB's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 52 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Assa Abloy Entrance Systems AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Assa's 140 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
