The verdict
Faurecia holds 164 US patents across 44 technology areas, rank #2,379 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Faurecia Sièges D'automobile has been granted 164 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Faurecia Sièges D'automobile at rank #2,379 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 44 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 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 Sièges D'automobile is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Faurecia sits between PING AN Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (165 patents, rank #2,375) and Nippon SODA Co., Ltd. (164 patents, rank #2,383) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.9/100 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 120 grants, compared with 44 in the 2015–2019 window, a +173% 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 Sièges D'automobile's 14.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 44 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Faurecia Sièges D'automobile against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Faurecia's 164 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.
