Portfolio overview

Suominen Corporation has been granted 27 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Suominen Corporation at rank #11,453 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 3.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in D04H (MAKING TEXTILE FABRICS, e.g. FROM FIBRES OR FILAMENTARY MATERIAL ; FABRICS MADE BY SUCH PROCESSES OR APPARATUS, e.g. FELTS, NON-WOVEN FABRICS; COTTON-WOOL; WADDING ; ; NON-WOVEN FABRICS FROM STAPLE FI). As a Foreign Corporation, Suominen Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Suominen sits between Sparq Systems Inc. (27 patents, rank #11,449) and Tefal (27 patents, rank #11,457) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.0/100 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 2 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window, a -92% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Suominen Corporation's 3.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Suominen Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
