Portfolio overview

Infineum International Limited has been granted 102 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Infineum International Limited at rank #3,598 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in C10M (LUBRICATING COMPOSITIONS ; USE OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES EITHER ALONE OR AS LUBRICATING INGREDIENTS IN A LUBRICATING COMPOSITION). As a Foreign Corporation, Infineum International Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Infineum sits between G.d Societa' PER Azioni (102 patents, rank #3,594) and Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd. (102 patents, rank #3,602) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.5/100 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 52 grants, compared with 50 in the 2015–2019 window, a +4% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Infineum International Limited's 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Infineum International Limited 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.
