Portfolio overview

Seabed Geosolutions B.v. has been granted 45 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Seabed Geosolutions B.v. at rank #7,331 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01V (GEOPHYSICS; GRAVITATIONAL MEASUREMENTS; DETECTING MASSES OR OBJECTS; TAGS). As a Foreign Corporation, Seabed Geosolutions B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Seabed sits between Styra, Inc. (45 patents, rank #7,327) and Skyera, Llc (45 patents, rank #7,335) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.6/100 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 14 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window, a -55% 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. Seabed Geosolutions B.v.'s 22.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Seabed Geosolutions B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
