Portfolio overview

Trane International Inc. has been granted 671 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Trane International Inc. at rank #667 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 106 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in F25B (REFRIGERATION MACHINES, PLANTS OR SYSTEMS; COMBINED HEATING AND REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS; HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, Trane International Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Trane sits between Viasat, Inc. (677 patents, rank #663) and BAE Systems Plc (669 patents, rank #671) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.3/100 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 394 grants, compared with 277 in the 2015–2019 window, a +42% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Trane International Inc.'s 16.1 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 Trane International Inc. 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.
