Portfolio overview
ALPINE ELECTRONICS, INC. has been granted 264 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing ALPINE ELECTRONICS, INC. at rank #1,569 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 81 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, ALPINE ELECTRONICS, INC. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 53.3/100 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 92 grants, compared with 172 in the 2015–2019 window — a -47% 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. ALPINE ELECTRONICS, INC.'s 12.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 81 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ALPINE ELECTRONICS, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
