Portfolio overview

Safran AERO Boosters has been granted 138 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Safran AERO Boosters at rank #2,796 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 74 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in F01D (NON-POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT MACHINES OR ENGINES, e.g. STEAM TURBINES). As a Foreign Corporation, Safran AERO Boosters is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Safran sits between Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc. (138 patents, rank #2,792) and Visa U.s.a. Inc. (138 patents, rank #2,800) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.0/100 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 65 grants, compared with 73 in the 2015–2019 window, a -11% 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. Safran AERO Boosters's 14.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 74 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Safran AERO Boosters against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
