Portfolio overview

Rolls-royce Controls AND DATA Services Limited has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing Rolls-royce Controls AND DATA Services Limited at rank #29,891 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in F02C (GAS-TURBINE PLANTS; AIR INTAKES FOR JET-PROPULSION PLANTS; CONTROLLING FUEL SUPPLY IN AIR-BREATHING JET-PROPULSION PLANTS). As a Foreign Corporation, Rolls-royce Controls AND DATA Services Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Rolls-royce sits between ROAL OY (9 patents, rank #29,887) and ROTE MATE Industry Co., Ltd. (9 patents, rank #29,895) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.9/100 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 0 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Rolls-royce Controls AND DATA Services Limited's 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rolls-royce Controls AND DATA Services Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
