The verdict
Axalta holds 156 US patents across 50 technology areas, rank #2,497 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Axalta Coating Systems IP Co., Llc has been granted 156 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Axalta Coating Systems IP Co., Llc at rank #2,497 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 50 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09D (COATING COMPOSITIONS, e.g. PAINTS, VARNISHES OR LACQUERS; FILLING PASTES; CHEMICAL PAINT OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; CORRECTING FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; PASTES OR SOLIDS FOR COLOURING OR PRINTING; USE OF MATERI). As a US Corporation, Axalta Coating Systems IP Co., Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Axalta sits between Vallourec OIL AND GAS France (157 patents, rank #2,493) and Dignity Health (156 patents, rank #2,501) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.8/100 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 74 grants, compared with 82 in the 2015–2019 window, a -10% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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. Axalta Coating Systems IP Co., Llc's 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 50 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Axalta Coating Systems IP Co., Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Axalta's 156 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
