Portfolio overview

Analog Devices International Unlimited Company has been granted 582 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Analog Devices International Unlimited Company at rank #789 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 94 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES). As a Foreign Corporation, Analog Devices International Unlimited Company is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Analog sits between Agilent Technologies, Inc. (583 patents, rank #785) and Compal Electronics, Inc. (580 patents, rank #793) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 71.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 582 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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 International Unlimited Company's 20.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 94 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Analog Devices International Unlimited Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
