Portfolio overview

Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. has been granted 2,008 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. at rank #202 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 177 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F05D (INDEXING SCHEME FOR ASPECTS RELATING TO NON-POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES OR ENGINES, GAS-TURBINES OR JET-PROPULSION PLANTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Pratt sits between Ethicon, Inc. (2,042 patents, rank #198) and Magic Leap, Inc. (1,959 patents, rank #206) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.8/100 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 1,426 grants, compared with 582 in the 2015–2019 window, a +145% 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. Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.'s 16.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Pratt's 2,008 grants land it in the top 0.1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Pratt ranks #202 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in F05D - see who else leads that technology area. F05D leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
