Portfolio overview
Sandvik Mining And Construction Oy has been granted 138 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sandvik Mining And Construction Oy at rank #2,798 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 59 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a Foreign Corporation, Sandvik Mining And Construction Oy is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sandvik sits between Qiagen Gmbh (138 patents, rank #2,794) and Chervon (hk) Limited (137 patents, rank #2,802) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.4/100 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 85 grants, compared with 53 in the 2015–2019 window, a +60% 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. Sandvik Mining And Construction Oy's 12.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 59 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sandvik Mining And Construction Oy against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
