Portfolio overview

Honeywell International Inc. has been granted 7,183 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Honeywell International Inc. at rank #53 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 393 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Honeywell International Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Honeywell sits between Korea Advanced Institute OF Science AND Technology (7,452 patents, rank #49) and Covidien Lp (6,485 patents, rank #57) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.9/100 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 3,344 grants, compared with 3,839 in the 2015–2019 window, a -13% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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. Honeywell International Inc.'s 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Honeywell International Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
