Where does Snecma rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), Snecma ranks #575 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does Snecma hold?

Snecma holds 783 US utility patents granted between 2015 and 2022, spanning 162 technology areas.

What is Snecma's Innovation Score?

Snecma has an Innovation Score of 54.8 out of 100 (top 7% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does Snecma focus on?

Snecma's top technology area is F01D (Non-positive Displacement Machines OR Engines, e.g. Steam Turbines) with 444 patents, ranking #11 of 462 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 162 CPC subclasses total.

Is Snecma's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

Snecma's recent grant velocity is -99% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). Grant activity has slowed relative to earlier years.

What does claim depth mean for Snecma's patents?

Snecma's patents average 10.5 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the Snecma patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Snecma's Innovation Score is 54.8/100 (top 7% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Snecma?

Each dot is one of Snecma’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Snecma’s own 10.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

How Snecma's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Snecma received 9 grants versus 774 in 2015–2019 (-99% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2017 at 239 grants and bottomed in 2021 at 1. Lead class F01D accounts for 56.7% of the portfolio across 162 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. (#571) and SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (#579).

Snecma's three-year grant acceleration

Snecma shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
