The verdict
Saint-gobain holds 7 US patents across 15 technology areas, rank #37,286 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Saint-gobain Performance Plastics France has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2016 and 2022, placing Saint-gobain Performance Plastics France at rank #37,286 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29C (SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING). As a Foreign Corporation, Saint-gobain Performance Plastics France is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Saint-gobain sits between Safelishare, Inc. (7 patents, rank #37,282) and Samsung SDI Co., LD. (7 patents, rank #37,290) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.8/100 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 2 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% 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 Performance Plastics France's 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Saint-gobain Performance Plastics France against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Saint-gobain's 7 grants land it in the top 25% 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.
