Portfolio overview

Manufacture D'horlogerie Audemars Piguet Sa has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing Manufacture D'horlogerie Audemars Piguet Sa at rank #16,172 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.7 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, Manufacture D'horlogerie Audemars Piguet Sa is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Manufacture sits between Lynntech, Inc. (18 patents, rank #16,168) and Medicinal Bioconvergence Research Center (18 patents, rank #16,176) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 18 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Manufacture D'horlogerie Audemars Piguet Sa's 18.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Manufacture D'horlogerie Audemars Piguet Sa against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
