Portfolio overview

Ratier-figeac SAS has been granted 103 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Ratier-figeac SAS at rank #3,575 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64C (AEROPLANES; HELICOPTERS). As a Foreign Corporation, Ratier-figeac SAS is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ratier-figeac sits between Oticon Medical A/s (103 patents, rank #3,571) and Surmodics, Inc. (103 patents, rank #3,579) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.3/100 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 92 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +736% 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. Ratier-figeac SAS's 13.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ratier-figeac SAS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
