Portfolio overview

Trico Belgium S.a. has been granted 29 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Trico Belgium S.a. at rank #10,787 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in B60S (SERVICING, CLEANING, REPAIRING, SUPPORTING, LIFTING, OR MANOEUVRING OF VEHICLES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Trico Belgium S.a. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Trico sits between THE University OF Warwick (29 patents, rank #10,783) and Technical Consumer Products, Inc. (29 patents, rank #10,791) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.8/100 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 27 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1250% 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. Trico Belgium S.a.'s 12.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Trico Belgium S.a. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
