Portfolio overview

Agilent Technologies, Inc. has been granted 583 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Agilent Technologies, Inc. at rank #785 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 111 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Agilent Technologies, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Agilent sits between Kokusai Electric Corporation (587 patents, rank #781) and Analog Devices International Unlimited Company (582 patents, rank #789) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.5/100 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 298 grants, compared with 285 in the 2015–2019 window, a +5% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The US 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. Agilent Technologies, Inc.'s 17.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Agilent Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
