Portfolio overview

Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.a. has been granted 568 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.a. at rank #812 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 115 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in B65B (MACHINES, APPARATUS OR DEVICES FOR, OR METHODS OF, PACKAGING ARTICLES OR MATERIALS; UNPACKING). As a Foreign Corporation, Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.a. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tetra sits between Getac Technology Corporation (570 patents, rank #808) and Electronic Arts Inc. (561 patents, rank #816) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.5/100 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 284 grants, compared with 284 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. Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.a.'s 13.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
