Portfolio overview

Solvay (société Anonyme) has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2015 and 2017, placing Solvay (société Anonyme) at rank #33,242 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in C07F (ACYCLIC, CARBOCYCLIC OR HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS CONTAINING ELEMENTS OTHER THAN CARBON, HYDROGEN, HALOGEN, OXYGEN, NITROGEN, SULFUR, SELENIUM OR TELLURIUM). As a Foreign Corporation, Solvay (société Anonyme) is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Solvay sits between SO Spark Ltd. (8 patents, rank #33,238) and Sophion Bioscience A/s (8 patents, rank #33,246) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.4/100 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 0 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Solvay (société Anonyme)'s 14.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Solvay (société Anonyme) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
