Portfolio overview

Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. has been granted 109 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. at rank #3,407 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Siemens sits between Nucor Corporation (109 patents, rank #3,403) and Stepan Company (109 patents, rank #3,411) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.4/100 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 2 grants, compared with 107 in the 2015–2019 window, a -98% 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 Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc.'s 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
