The verdict
Steris holds 10 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #27,522 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Steris Solutions Limited has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2022 and 2024, placing Steris Solutions Limited at rank #27,522 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 28.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61G (TRANSPORT, PERSONAL CONVEYANCES, OR ACCOMMODATION SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR PATIENTS OR DISABLED PERSONS ; OPERATING TABLES OR CHAIRS; CHAIRS FOR DENTISTRY; FUNERAL DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Steris Solutions Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Steris sits between Steerable Instruments Nv (10 patents, rank #27,518) and Strato Scale Ltd. (10 patents, rank #27,526) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2024, with 10 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Steris Solutions Limited's 28.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Steris Solutions Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Steris's 10 grants land it in the top 10% 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.
