Portfolio overview

Raytheon Technologies Corporation has been granted 2,501 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Raytheon Technologies Corporation at rank #157 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 208 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.0 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 US Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Raytheon sits between Schaeffler Technologies Ag & Co. KG (2,548 patents, rank #153) and Chengdu BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (2,399 patents, rank #161) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 66.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 2,501 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The US 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. Raytheon Technologies Corporation's 16.0 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 Raytheon Technologies Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Raytheon's 2,501 grants land it in the top 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 - Raytheon ranks #157 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.
