The verdict
Saltex holds 9 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #30,129 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Saltex Oy has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Saltex Oy at rank #30,129 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in E01C (CONSTRUCTION OF, OR SURFACES FOR, ROADS, SPORTS GROUNDS, OR THE LIKE; MACHINES OR AUXILIARY TOOLS FOR CONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR). As a Foreign Corporation, Saltex Oy is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Saltex sits between Safran Cabin Netherlands N.v. (9 patents, rank #30,125) and Sapporo Holdings Limited (9 patents, rank #30,133) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 30.2/100 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 8 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +700% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Saltex Oy's 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Saltex Oy against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Saltex's 9 grants land it in the top 67% 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.
