The verdict
Safran holds 9 US patents across 21 technology areas, rank #30,125 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Safran Cabin Netherlands N.v. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Safran Cabin Netherlands N.v. at rank #30,125 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64D (EQUIPMENT FOR FITTING IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; FLIGHT SUITS; PARACHUTES; ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF POWER PLANTS OR PROPULSION TRANSMISSIONS IN AIRCRAFT). As a Foreign Corporation, Safran Cabin Netherlands N.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Safran sits between Sabre Communications Corporation (9 patents, rank #30,121) and Saltex Oy (9 patents, rank #30,129) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 31.8/100 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 8 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +700% 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. Safran Cabin Netherlands N.v.'s 12.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Safran Cabin Netherlands N.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Safran's 9 grants land it in the top 61% 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.
