Portfolio overview

Saint-gobain Abrasifs has been granted 192 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Saint-gobain Abrasifs at rank #2,069 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B24D (TOOLS FOR GRINDING, BUFFING OR SHARPENING). As a Foreign Corporation, Saint-gobain Abrasifs is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Saint-gobain sits between Opple Lighting Co., Ltd. (192 patents, rank #2,065) and Nortonlifelock Inc. (191 patents, rank #2,073) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.4/100 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 70 grants, compared with 122 in the 2015–2019 window, a -43% 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. Saint-gobain Abrasifs's 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Saint-gobain Abrasifs 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.
