Portfolio overview

Piaggio & C. SPA has been granted 181 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Piaggio & C. SPA at rank #2,175 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 55 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B62K (CYCLES; CYCLE FRAMES; CYCLE STEERING DEVICES; RIDER-OPERATED TERMINAL CONTROLS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR CYCLES; CYCLE AXLE SUSPENSIONS; CYCLE SIDE-CARS, FORECARS, OR THE LIKE). As a Foreign Corporation, Piaggio & C. SPA is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Piaggio sits between Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. (182 patents, rank #2,171) and DOWA Electronics Materials Co., Ltd. (180 patents, rank #2,179) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.8/100 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 130 grants, compared with 51 in the 2015–2019 window, a +155% 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. Piaggio & C. SPA's 11.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 55 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Piaggio & C. SPA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
