USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 407 granted patents across 114 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: D06F (LAUNDERING, DRYING, IRONING, PRESSING OR FOLDING TEXTILE ARTICLES).
The verdict
Electrolux holds 407 US patents across 114 technology areas, rank #1,059 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Electrolux Appliances Aktiebolag has been granted 407 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Electrolux Appliances Aktiebolag at rank #1,059 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 114 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in D06F (LAUNDERING, DRYING, IRONING, PRESSING OR FOLDING TEXTILE ARTICLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Electrolux Appliances Aktiebolag is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Electrolux sits between The Broad Institute, Inc. (410 patents, rank #1,055) and Interdigital Technology Corporation (406 patents, rank #1,063) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.4/100 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 269 grants, compared with 138 in the 2015–2019 window, a +95% 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. Electrolux Appliances Aktiebolag's 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Electrolux Appliances Aktiebolag against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Electrolux's 407 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
