Portfolio overview

Amdocs Development Limited has been granted 349 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Amdocs Development Limited at rank #1,218 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Amdocs Development Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Amdocs sits between II-VI Delaware, Inc. (350 patents, rank #1,214) and Mimaki Engineering Co., Ltd. (348 patents, rank #1,222) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.1/100 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 188 grants, compared with 161 in the 2015–2019 window, a +17% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Amdocs Development Limited's 13.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Amdocs Development Limited 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.
