Portfolio overview

Autoliv Development AB has been granted 542 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Autoliv Development AB at rank #842 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 80 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Autoliv Development AB is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Autoliv sits between Delta Electronics (shanghai) Co., Ltd. (543 patents, rank #838) and Primax Electronics Ltd. (539 patents, rank #846) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.0/100 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 325 grants, compared with 217 in the 2015–2019 window, a +50% 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. Autoliv Development AB's 13.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 80 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Autoliv Development AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
