Overall rank by patents
#30,099
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 2 technology areas, active 2017–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: D03C (SHEDDING MECHANISMS; PATTERN CARDS OR CHAINS; PUNCHING OF CARDS; DESIGNING PATTERNS).
The verdict
Staubli holds 9 US patents across 2 technology areas, rank #30,099 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Staubli LYON has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Staubli LYON at rank #30,099 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in D03C (SHEDDING MECHANISMS; PATTERN CARDS OR CHAINS; PUNCHING OF CARDS; DESIGNING PATTERNS). As a Foreign Corporation, Staubli LYON is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Staubli sits between ST Engineering Idirect (europe) CY Nv (9 patents, rank #30,095) and Stmicroelectronics Belgium (9 patents, rank #30,103) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.9/100 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 4 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -20% 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. Staubli LYON's 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Staubli LYON against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Staubli's 9 grants land it in the top 78% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
