Portfolio overview

Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. has been granted 379 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. at rank #1,118 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 79 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in F04C (ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS ; ROTARY-PISTON, OR OSCILLATING-PISTON, POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT PUMPS). As a US Corporation, Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Emerson sits between BSH Home Appliances Corporation (380 patents, rank #1,114) and Airbus (s.a.s.) (377 patents, rank #1,122) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.9/100 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 159 grants, compared with 220 in the 2015–2019 window, a -28% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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. Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.'s 19.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 79 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
