Portfolio overview

Schneider Electric (Australia) Pty Ltd has been granted 68 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Schneider Electric (Australia) Pty Ltd at rank #5,111 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 4.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01H (ELECTRIC SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Schneider Electric (Australia) Pty Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 36.4/100 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 64 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window — a +1500% 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. Schneider Electric (Australia) Pty Ltd's 4.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Schneider Electric (Australia) Pty Ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Schneider's 68 grants land it in the top 47% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — Schneider ranks #5,111 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01H — see who else leads that technology area. H01H leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
