Portfolio overview

VOLVO LASTVAGNAR AB has been granted 190 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing VOLVO LASTVAGNAR AB at rank #2,086 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 64 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in Y02T (CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION). As a Foreign Corporation, VOLVO LASTVAGNAR AB is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 49.0/100 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 6 grants, compared with 184 in the 2015–2019 window — a -97% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. VOLVO LASTVAGNAR AB's 7.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 64 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark VOLVO LASTVAGNAR AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
