Portfolio overview

Faurecia Autositze Gmbh has been granted 67 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Faurecia Autositze Gmbh at rank #5,156 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60N (SEATS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR VEHICLES; VEHICLE PASSENGER ACCOMMODATION NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Faurecia Autositze Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Faurecia sits between Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (67 patents, rank #5,152) and Hangzhou Haicun Information Technology Co., Ltd. (67 patents, rank #5,160) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.3/100 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 45 grants, compared with 22 in the 2015–2019 window, a +105% 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. Faurecia Autositze Gmbh's 12.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Faurecia Autositze Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
