Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 59 granted patents across 10 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G04B (MECHANICALLY-DRIVEN CLOCKS OR WATCHES; MECHANICAL PARTS OF CLOCKS OR WATCHES IN GENERAL; TIME PIECES USING THE POSITION OF THE SUN, MOON OR STARS).
LVMH Swiss Manufactures SA has been granted 59 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing LVMH Swiss Manufactures SA at rank #5,776 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G04B (MECHANICALLY-DRIVEN CLOCKS OR WATCHES; MECHANICAL PARTS OF CLOCKS OR WATCHES IN GENERAL; TIME PIECES USING THE POSITION OF THE SUN, MOON OR STARS). As a Foreign Corporation, LVMH Swiss Manufactures SA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 30.6/100 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 18 grants, compared with 41 in the 2015–2019 window — a -56% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. LVMH Swiss Manufactures SA's 4.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark LVMH Swiss Manufactures SA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
