Portfolio overview

ETA SA MANUFACTURE HORLOGÈRE SUISSE has been granted 302 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ETA SA MANUFACTURE HORLOGÈRE SUISSE at rank #1,392 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 77 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G04B (MECHANICALLY-DRIVEN CLOCKS OR WATCHES; MECHANICAL PARTS OF CLOCKS OR WATCHES IN GENERAL; TIME PIECES USING THE POSITION OF THE SUN, MOON OR STARS). As a Foreign Corporation, ETA SA MANUFACTURE HORLOGÈRE SUISSE is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.1/100 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 153 grants, compared with 149 in the 2015–2019 window — a +3% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. ETA SA MANUFACTURE HORLOGÈRE SUISSE's 14.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 77 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ETA SA MANUFACTURE HORLOGÈRE SUISSE against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
