The verdict
Sidel holds 233 US patents across 57 technology areas, rank #1,747 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Sidel Participations S.a.s has been granted 233 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sidel Participations S.a.s at rank #1,747 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 57 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29C (SHAPING OR JOINING OF PLASTICS; SHAPING OF MATERIAL IN A PLASTIC STATE, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; AFTER-TREATMENT OF THE SHAPED PRODUCTS, e.g. REPAIRING). As a Foreign Corporation, Sidel Participations S.a.s is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sidel sits between Aptar France SAS (233 patents, rank #1,743) and Hydro-gear Limited Partnership (232 patents, rank #1,751) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.7/100 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 110 grants, compared with 123 in the 2015–2019 window, a -11% 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. Sidel Participations S.a.s's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 57 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sidel Participations S.a.s against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Sidel's 233 grants land it in the top 6% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
