Portfolio overview

SMR Patents S.à.r.l. has been granted 177 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SMR Patents S.à.r.l. at rank #2,223 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 66 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60R (VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, SMR Patents S.à.r.l. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SMR sits between Archer-daniels-midland Company (177 patents, rank #2,219) and Institute OF Nuclear Energy Research, Atomic Energy Council, Executive YUAN (176 patents, rank #2,227) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.0/100 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 108 grants, compared with 69 in the 2015–2019 window, a +57% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. SMR Patents S.à.r.l.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 66 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SMR Patents S.à.r.l. 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.
