Portfolio overview

Holcim Technology Ltd has been granted 82 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Holcim Technology Ltd at rank #4,335 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 66 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C04B (LIME, MAGNESIA; SLAG; CEMENTS; COMPOSITIONS THEREOF, e.g. MORTARS, CONCRETE OR LIKE BUILDING MATERIALS; ARTIFICIAL STONE ; CERAMICS ; REFRACTORIES; TREATMENT OF NATURAL STONE). As a Foreign Corporation, Holcim Technology Ltd is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Holcim sits between Faurecia Clarion Electronics Co., Ltd. (82 patents, rank #4,331) and Institute For Basic Science (82 patents, rank #4,339) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.7/100 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 67 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a +347% 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. Holcim Technology Ltd's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 66 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Holcim Technology Ltd 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.
