Portfolio overview

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. has been granted 453 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. at rank #969 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 78 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62M (RIDER PROPULSION OF WHEELED VEHICLES OR SLEDGES; POWERED PROPULSION OF SLEDGES OR ; SINGLE-TRACK; CYCLES; TRANSMISSIONS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR SUCH VEHICLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Bombardier sits between Hella Gmbh & Co. Kgaa (456 patents, rank #965) and Delphi Technologies (451 patents, rank #973) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.4/100 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 286 grants, compared with 167 in the 2015–2019 window, a +71% 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 Recreational Products Inc.'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 78 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
