Portfolio overview

BAE Systems Controls Inc. has been granted 68 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing BAE Systems Controls Inc. at rank #5,060 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 62 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a US Corporation, BAE Systems Controls Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BAE sits between Automobili Lamborghini S.p.a. (68 patents, rank #5,056) and Calix, Inc. (68 patents, rank #5,064) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.7/100 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 45 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a +96% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. BAE Systems Controls Inc.'s 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 62 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BAE Systems Controls Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
