Portfolio overview

SMITH & NEPHEW ASIA PACIFIC PTE. LIMITED has been granted 164 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing SMITH & NEPHEW ASIA PACIFIC PTE. LIMITED at rank #2,385 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 30 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, SMITH & NEPHEW ASIA PACIFIC PTE. LIMITED is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.8/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 164 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. SMITH & NEPHEW ASIA PACIFIC PTE. LIMITED's 16.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 30 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SMITH & NEPHEW ASIA PACIFIC PTE. LIMITED against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
