Portfolio overview
Saint-gobain Abrasives, Inc. has been granted 198 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Saint-gobain Abrasives, Inc. at rank #2,017 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B24D (TOOLS FOR GRINDING, BUFFING OR SHARPENING). As a US Corporation, Saint-gobain Abrasives, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Saint-gobain sits between Crossbar, Inc. (198 patents, rank #2,013) and Abiomed, Inc. (197 patents, rank #2,021) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.8/100 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 72 grants, compared with 126 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 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. Saint-gobain Abrasives, Inc.'s 18.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Saint-gobain Abrasives, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
