Portfolio overview
IKEA Supply AG has been granted 53 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing IKEA Supply AG at rank #6,340 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47B (TABLES; DESKS; OFFICE FURNITURE; CABINETS; DRAWERS; GENERAL DETAILS OF FURNITURE). As a Foreign Corporation, IKEA Supply AG is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.3/100 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 46 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window — a +557% 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. IKEA Supply AG's 17.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 48 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark IKEA Supply AG against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
