Portfolio overview

Xylem IP Management S. À R.l. has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2016 and 2022, placing Xylem IP Management S. À R.l. at rank #9,939 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 28 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in C02F (TREATMENT OF WATER, WASTE WATER, SEWAGE, OR SLUDGE). As a Foreign Corporation, Xylem IP Management S. À R.l. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Xylem sits between X One, Inc. (32 patents, rank #9,935) and ZTE Wistron Telecom AB (32 patents, rank #9,943) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.0/100 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 13 grants, compared with 19 in the 2015–2019 window, a -32% 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. Xylem IP Management S. À R.l.'s 11.5 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 28 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Xylem IP Management S. À R.l. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
