Portfolio overview

Montres Breguet S.a. has been granted 183 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Montres Breguet S.a. at rank #2,157 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 34 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.7 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, Montres Breguet S.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Montres sits between Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (183 patents, rank #2,153) and Wuhan Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch (183 patents, rank #2,161) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.3/100 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 93 grants, compared with 90 in the 2015–2019 window, a +3% 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. Montres Breguet S.a.'s 12.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 34 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Montres Breguet S.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
