The verdict
Patek holds 63 US patents across 18 technology areas, rank #5,458 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Patek Philippe Sa Geneve has been granted 63 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Patek Philippe Sa Geneve at rank #5,458 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.9 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, Patek Philippe Sa Geneve is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Patek sits between Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (63 patents, rank #5,454) and R A Brands L.l.c. (63 patents, rank #5,462) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.5/100 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 51 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +325% 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. Patek Philippe Sa Geneve's 8.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 18 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Patek Philippe Sa Geneve against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Patek's 63 grants land it in the top 30% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
