USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 1,761 granted patents across 83 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION).
The verdict
Arris holds 1,761 US patents across 83 technology areas, rank #232 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Arris Enterprises Llc has been granted 1,761 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Arris Enterprises Llc at rank #232 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 83 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a US Corporation, Arris Enterprises Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Arris sits between Netapp, Inc. (1,774 patents, rank #228) and Continental Automotive Gmbh (1,748 patents, rank #236) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.7/100 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 1,160 grants, compared with 601 in the 2015–2019 window, a +93% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Arris Enterprises Llc's 16.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 83 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Arris Enterprises Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Arris's 1,761 grants land it in the top 0.1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
