Portfolio overview

HID Global CID SAS has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing HID Global CID SAS at #17,746 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in B42D (BOOKS; BOOK COVERS; LOOSE LEAVES; PRINTED MATTER CHARACTERISED BY IDENTIFICATION OR SECURITY FEATURES; PRINTED MATTER OF SPECIAL FORMAT OR STYLE NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; DEVICES FOR USE THEREWITH A). As a Foreign Corporation, HID Global CID SAS is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, HID sits between Healthlead Corporation Limited (16 patents, rank #17,731) and Hoseo University Academic Cooperation Foundation (16 patents, rank #17,739) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 16 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. HID Global CID SAS's 18.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 15 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
