Portfolio overview

Schneider Electric Industries SAS has been granted 691 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Schneider Electric Industries SAS at rank #646 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 127 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01H (ELECTRIC SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Schneider Electric Industries SAS is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Schneider sits between Cerner Innovation, Inc. (695 patents, rank #642) and Carl Zeiss Meditec Ag (689 patents, rank #650) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 60.9/100 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 354 grants, compared with 337 in the 2015–2019 window, a +5% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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 Industries SAS's 12.4 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 Schneider Electric Industries SAS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
