USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 442 granted patents across 128 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H01H (ELECTRIC SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE DEVICES).
The verdict
Siemens holds 442 US patents across 128 technology areas, rank #996 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Siemens Industry, Inc. has been granted 442 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Siemens Industry, Inc. at rank #996 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 128 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01H (ELECTRIC SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE DEVICES). As a US Corporation, Siemens Industry, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Siemens sits between University OF Maryland, College PARK (444 patents, rank #992) and Samsung Medison Co., Ltd. (439 patents, rank #1,000) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.1/100 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 126 grants, compared with 316 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Siemens Industry, Inc.'s 17.0 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 Siemens Industry, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Siemens's 442 grants land it in the top 4% 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.
