Portfolio overview

Scania CV AB has been granted 420 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Scania CV AB at rank #1,039 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 109 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Scania CV AB is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Scania sits between Advics Co., Ltd. (421 patents, rank #1,035) and Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd. (417 patents, rank #1,043) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.1/100 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 203 grants, compared with 217 in the 2015–2019 window, a -6% 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. Scania CV AB's 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Scania CV AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
