Portfolio overview
Reckitt Benckiser Finish B.V. has been granted 107 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Reckitt Benckiser Finish B.V. at rank #3,458 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 6.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C11D (DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS; USE OF SINGLE SUBSTANCES AS DETERGENTS; SOAP OR SOAP-MAKING; RESIN SOAPS; RECOVERY OF GLYCEROL). As a Foreign Corporation, Reckitt Benckiser Finish B.V. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 39.7/100 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 62 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window — a +38% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Reckitt Benckiser Finish B.V.'s 6.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Reckitt Benckiser Finish B.V. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
