Portfolio overview

BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.p. has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.p. at rank #10,867 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F41H (ARMOUR; ARMOURED TURRETS; ARMOURED OR ARMED VEHICLES; MEANS OF ATTACK OR DEFENCE, e.g. CAMOUFLAGE, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.p. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BAE sits between Atos Medical AB (28 patents, rank #10,863) and Baicells Technologies Co. Ltd. (28 patents, rank #10,871) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.5/100 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 8 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% 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. BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.p.'s 14.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.p. 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.
