The verdict
Resmed holds 800 US patents across 62 technology areas, rank #565 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Resmed Pty Ltd has been granted 800 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Resmed Pty Ltd at rank #565 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 62 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61M (DEVICES FOR INTRODUCING MEDIA INTO, OR ONTO, THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR TRANSDUCING BODY MEDIA OR FOR TAKING MEDIA FROM THE BODY ; DEVICES FOR PRODUCING OR ENDING SLEEP OR STUPOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Resmed Pty Ltd is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Resmed sits between Ut-battelle, Llc (803 patents, rank #561) and Gentex Corporation (790 patents, rank #569) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.2/100 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 740 grants, compared with 60 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1133% 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. Resmed Pty Ltd's 22.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 62 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Resmed Pty Ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Resmed's 800 grants land it in the top 0.1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
