Portfolio overview

Autostore Technology AS has been granted 190 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Autostore Technology AS at rank #2,077 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 54 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65G (TRANSPORT OR STORAGE DEVICES, e.g. CONVEYORS FOR LOADING OR TIPPING, SHOP CONVEYOR SYSTEMS OR PNEUMATIC TUBE CONVEYORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Autostore Technology AS is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Autostore sits between Nortonlifelock Inc. (191 patents, rank #2,073) and Ocado Innovation Limited (190 patents, rank #2,081) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 71.7/100 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 180 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1700% 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. Autostore Technology AS's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 54 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Autostore Technology AS 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.
