USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 42 granted patents across 19 technology areas, active 2015–2023. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: B67D (DISPENSING, DELIVERING OR TRANSFERRING LIQUIDS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR).
The verdict
Wayne holds 42 US patents across 19 technology areas, rank #7,799 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Wayne Fueling Systems Sweden AB has been granted 42 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Wayne Fueling Systems Sweden AB at rank #7,799 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 19 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B67D (DISPENSING, DELIVERING OR TRANSFERRING LIQUIDS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a Foreign Corporation, Wayne Fueling Systems Sweden AB is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Wayne sits between VISA Europe Limited (42 patents, rank #7,795) and Zhejiang Geely Automobile Research Institute Co., Ltd (42 patents, rank #7,803) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.5/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 6 grants, compared with 36 in the 2015–2019 window, a -83% 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. Wayne Fueling Systems Sweden AB's 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 19 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Wayne Fueling Systems Sweden AB against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Wayne's 42 grants land it in the top 46% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
