Portfolio overview

Safran Seats USA Llc has been granted 155 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Safran Seats USA Llc at rank #2,518 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 39 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 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 US Corporation, Safran Seats USA Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Safran sits between Idemia Identity & Security France (155 patents, rank #2,514) and CMR Surgical Limited (154 patents, rank #2,522) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.0/100 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 134 grants, compared with 21 in the 2015–2019 window, a +538% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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 Seats USA Llc's 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 39 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Safran Seats USA Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
