Portfolio overview

Bentley Systems, Incorporated has been granted 140 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bentley Systems, Incorporated at rank #2,755 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Bentley Systems, Incorporated is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Bentley sits between AMBU A/s (140 patents, rank #2,751) and Kookmin University Industry Academy Cooperation Foundation (140 patents, rank #2,759) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.5/100 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 90 grants, compared with 50 in the 2015–2019 window, a +80% 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. Bentley Systems, Incorporated's 20.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bentley Systems, Incorporated against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
