Analog Devices Global Unlimited Company

Analog Devices Global Unlimited Company has been granted 493 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Analog Devices Global Unlimited Company at rank #909 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 82 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H03M (CODING; DECODING; CODE CONVERSION IN GENERAL). As a Foreign Corporation, Analog Devices Global Unlimited Company is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 59.9/100 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 85 grants, compared with 408 in the 2015–2019 window — a -79% 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. Analog Devices Global Unlimited Company's 22.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 82 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Analog Devices Global Unlimited Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
