Portfolio overview

Sensata Technologies, Inc. has been granted 153 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sensata Technologies, Inc. at rank #2,548 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 84 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01L (MEASURING FORCE, STRESS, TORQUE, WORK, MECHANICAL POWER, MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY, OR FLUID PRESSURE). As a US Corporation, Sensata Technologies, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sensata sits between Lonza Ltd (153 patents, rank #2,544) and Université Paris Cité (153 patents, rank #2,552) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.9/100 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 78 grants, compared with 75 in the 2015–2019 window, a +4% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Sensata Technologies, Inc.'s 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 84 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sensata Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
