Portfolio overview

Somfy Activites Sa has been granted 84 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Somfy Activites Sa at rank #4,263 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 42 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in E06B (FIXED OR MOVABLE CLOSURES FOR OPENINGS IN BUILDINGS, VEHICLES, FENCES OR LIKE ENCLOSURES IN GENERAL, e.g. DOORS, WINDOWS, BLINDS, GATES). As a Foreign Corporation, Somfy Activites Sa is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Somfy sits between Refinitiv US Organization Llc (84 patents, rank #4,259) and TP Lab, Inc. (84 patents, rank #4,267) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.5/100 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 77 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1000% 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. Somfy Activites Sa's 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 42 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Somfy Activites Sa against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
