Portfolio overview
PSA AUTOMOBILES SA has been granted 77 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing PSA AUTOMOBILES SA at rank #4,578 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, PSA AUTOMOBILES SA is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 55.9/100 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 72 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window — a +1340% 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. PSA AUTOMOBILES SA's 9.9 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark PSA AUTOMOBILES SA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
