Portfolio overview

Bombardier Inc. has been granted 267 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bombardier Inc. at rank #1,551 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 96 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64D (EQUIPMENT FOR FITTING IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; FLIGHT SUITS; PARACHUTES; ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF POWER PLANTS OR PROPULSION TRANSMISSIONS IN AIRCRAFT). As a Foreign Corporation, Bombardier Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Bombardier sits between Infosys Limited (268 patents, rank #1,547) and S-printing Solution Co., Ltd. (267 patents, rank #1,555) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.5/100 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 173 grants, compared with 94 in the 2015–2019 window, a +84% 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. Bombardier Inc.'s 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 96 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bombardier Inc. 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.
