Portfolio overview

Steelseries Aps has been granted 218 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Steelseries Aps at rank #1,850 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A63F (CARD, BOARD, OR ROULETTE GAMES; INDOOR GAMES USING SMALL MOVING PLAYING BODIES; VIDEO GAMES; GAMES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Steelseries Aps is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Steelseries sits between Furukawa Automotive Systems Inc. (218 patents, rank #1,846) and Huf Hülsbeck & Fürst Gmbh & Co. KG (217 patents, rank #1,854) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.0/100 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 118 grants, compared with 100 in the 2015–2019 window, a +18% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Steelseries Aps's 19.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Steelseries Aps against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in A63F - see who else leads that technology area. A63F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
