Portfolio overview

STMicroelectronics SA has been granted 3,182 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing STMicroelectronics SA at rank #118 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 195 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, STMicroelectronics SA is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 72.0/100 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 1,591 grants, compared with 1,591 in the 2015–2019 window — a +0% 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. STMicroelectronics SA's 20.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark STMicroelectronics SA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
