Portfolio overview

Rheem Australia PTY Limited has been granted 18 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Rheem Australia PTY Limited at rank #16,314 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in F24H (FLUID HEATERS, e.g. WATER OR AIR HEATERS, HAVING HEAT-GENERATING MEANS, e.g. HEAT PUMPS, IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Rheem Australia PTY Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Rheem sits between Recovery Force, Llc (18 patents, rank #16,310) and Roof Systems Germany Gmbh (18 patents, rank #16,318) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.6/100 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 14 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% 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. Rheem Australia PTY Limited's 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rheem Australia PTY Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
