Portfolio overview

CROCUS TECHNOLOGY SA has been granted 55 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing CROCUS TECHNOLOGY SA at rank #6,123 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G11C (STATIC STORES). As a Foreign Corporation, CROCUS TECHNOLOGY SA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 44.7/100 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 9 grants, compared with 46 in the 2015–2019 window — a -80% 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. CROCUS TECHNOLOGY SA's 11.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CROCUS TECHNOLOGY SA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
