Portfolio overview

Freni Brembo S.p.a. has been granted 135 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Freni Brembo S.p.a. at rank #2,838 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16D (COUPLINGS FOR TRANSMITTING ROTATION; CLUTCHES; BRAKES). As a Foreign Corporation, Freni Brembo S.p.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Freni sits between Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (136 patents, rank #2,834) and International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (135 patents, rank #2,842) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.0/100 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 62 grants, compared with 73 in the 2015–2019 window, a -15% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Freni Brembo S.p.a.'s 11.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Freni Brembo S.p.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
