Portfolio overview

Sandvik Mining And Construction Tools AB has been granted 26 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Sandvik Mining And Construction Tools AB at #11,794 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 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 Tools AB is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sandvik sits between Sunstar Inc. (26 patents, rank #11,806) and Shanxi University (26 patents, rank #11,814) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 26 total grants over that period. 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. Sandvik Mining And Construction Tools AB's 12.4 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 13 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
