Portfolio overview
SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCE has been granted 820 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCE at rank #550 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 150 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B32B (LAYERED PRODUCTS, i.e. PRODUCTS BUILT-UP OF STRATA OF FLAT OR NON-FLAT, e.g. CELLULAR OR HONEYCOMB, FORM). As a Foreign Corporation, SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCE is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.8/100 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 450 grants, compared with 370 in the 2015–2019 window — a +22% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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 GLASS FRANCE's 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCE against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
