Portfolio overview

UTC FIRE & Security EMEA BVBA has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2020 and 2023, placing UTC FIRE & Security EMEA BVBA at rank #43,813 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G08B (SIGNALLING OR CALLING SYSTEMS; ORDER TELEGRAPHS; ALARM SYSTEMS). As a Foreign Corporation, UTC FIRE & Security EMEA BVBA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, UTC sits between Usenlight Corporation (6 patents, rank #43,809) and Ultimovacs ASA (6 patents, rank #43,817) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2023, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. UTC FIRE & Security EMEA BVBA's 15.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark UTC FIRE & Security EMEA BVBA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
