SUBSEA 7 NORWAY AS

SUBSEA 7 NORWAY AS has been granted 35 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing SUBSEA 7 NORWAY AS at rank #9,122 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a Foreign Corporation, SUBSEA 7 NORWAY AS is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 55.2/100 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 29 grants, compared with 6 in the 2015–2019 window — a +383% 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. SUBSEA 7 NORWAY AS's 23.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SUBSEA 7 NORWAY AS against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
