Portfolio overview

VALEO SCHALTER UND SENSOREN GMBH has been granted 273 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing VALEO SCHALTER UND SENSOREN GMBH at rank #1,529 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 75 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01S (RADIO DIRECTION-FINDING; RADIO NAVIGATION; DETERMINING DISTANCE OR VELOCITY BY USE OF RADIO WAVES; LOCATING OR PRESENCE-DETECTING BY USE OF THE REFLECTION OR RERADIATION OF RADIO WAVES; ANALOGOUS ARRA). As a Foreign Corporation, VALEO SCHALTER UND SENSOREN GMBH is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.4/100 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 174 grants, compared with 99 in the 2015–2019 window — a +76% 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. VALEO SCHALTER UND SENSOREN GMBH's 13.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 75 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark VALEO SCHALTER UND SENSOREN GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
