Portfolio overview

Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited has been granted 37 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited at rank #8,589 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in D06F (LAUNDERING, DRYING, IRONING, PRESSING OR FOLDING TEXTILE ARTICLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fisher sits between FLOW Control Llc (37 patents, rank #8,585) and G & W Electric Company (37 patents, rank #8,593) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 19 grants, compared with 18 in the 2015–2019 window, a +6% 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. Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited's 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited 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.
