USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 623 granted patents across 85 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
Siemens holds 623 US patents across 85 technology areas, rank #730 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. has been granted 623 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. at rank #730 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 85 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Siemens sits between Inventec (pudong) Technology Corporation (629 patents, rank #726) and Baxter International Inc. (620 patents, rank #734) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.8/100 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 276 grants, compared with 347 in the 2015–2019 window, a -20% 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 Medical Solutions USA, Inc.'s 16.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 85 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Siemens's 623 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
