ATLAS COPCO AIRPOWER, NAAMLOZE VENNOOTSCHAP has been granted 226 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ATLAS COPCO AIRPOWER, NAAMLOZE VENNOOTSCHAP at rank #1,802 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 86 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F04C (ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS ; ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT PUMPS). As a Foreign Corporation, ATLAS COPCO AIRPOWER, NAAMLOZE VENNOOTSCHAP is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.3/100 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 163 grants, compared with 63 in the 2015–2019 window — a +159% 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. ATLAS COPCO AIRPOWER, NAAMLOZE VENNOOTSCHAP's 14.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 86 subclasses balances depth with breadth.
