USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 2 technology areas, active 2015–2018. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61C (DENTISTRY; APPARATUS OR METHODS FOR ORAL OR DENTAL HYGIENE).
The verdict
Cendres+metaux holds 5 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #45,476 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Cendres+metaux Sa has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing Cendres+metaux Sa at rank #45,476 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61C (DENTISTRY; APPARATUS OR METHODS FOR ORAL OR DENTAL HYGIENE). As a Foreign Corporation, Cendres+metaux Sa is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cendres+metaux sits between Cellblock FCS, Llc (5 patents, rank #45,472) and Central BAG & Burlap Co. (5 patents, rank #45,480) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 20.1/100 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 0 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Cendres+metaux Sa's 14.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cendres+metaux Sa against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Cendres+metaux's 5 grants land it in the top 93% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
