Portfolio overview
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited has been granted 1,077 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited at rank #420 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 67 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61M (DEVICES FOR INTRODUCING MEDIA INTO, OR ONTO, THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR TRANSDUCING BODY MEDIA OR FOR TAKING MEDIA FROM THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR PRODUCING OR ENDING SLEEP OR STUPOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.4/100 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 795 grants, compared with 282 in the 2015–2019 window — a +182% 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. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited's 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 67 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
