Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 537 granted patents across 91 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
Stmicroelectronics holds 537 US patents across 91 technology areas, rank #850 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Stmicroelectronics (grenoble 2) SAS has been granted 537 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Stmicroelectronics (grenoble 2) SAS at rank #850 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 91 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Stmicroelectronics (grenoble 2) SAS is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Stmicroelectronics sits between Primax Electronics Ltd. (539 patents, rank #846) and Kyndryl, Inc. (534 patents, rank #854) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.5/100 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 329 grants, compared with 208 in the 2015–2019 window, a +58% 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. Stmicroelectronics (grenoble 2) SAS's 20.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 91 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Stmicroelectronics (grenoble 2) SAS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Stmicroelectronics's 537 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
