Overall rank by patents
#9,362
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 34 granted patents across 23 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2015–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: F16C (SHAFTS; FLEXIBLE SHAFTS; ELEMENTS OR CRANKSHAFT MECHANISMS; ROTARY BODIES OTHER THAN GEARING ELEMENTS; BEARINGS).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, Saint-gobain ranks #9,362 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 34 patents across 23 technology areas.
Saint-gobain Performance Plastics Pampus Gmbh has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Saint-gobain Performance Plastics Pampus Gmbh at #9,362 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in F16C (SHAFTS; FLEXIBLE SHAFTS; ELEMENTS OR CRANKSHAFT MECHANISMS; ROTARY BODIES OTHER THAN GEARING ELEMENTS; BEARINGS). As a Foreign Corporation, Saint-gobain Performance Plastics Pampus Gmbh is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Saint-gobain sits between Rebiotix Inc. (34 patents, rank #9,358) and Shimano Components (malaysia) SDN. BHD. (34 patents, rank #9,366) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.5/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 13 grants, compared with 17 in the 2015–2019 window, a -24% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Saint-gobain Performance Plastics Pampus Gmbh's 17.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 23 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Saint-gobain's 34 grants land it in the top 30% 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.
