Portfolio overview

ASM IP Holding B.v. has been granted 1,116 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ASM IP Holding B.v. at rank #401 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 96 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a Foreign Corporation, ASM IP Holding B.v. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ASM sits between Cree, Inc. (1,127 patents, rank #397) and Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, Limited (1,104 patents, rank #405) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.8/100 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 773 grants, compared with 343 in the 2015–2019 window, a +125% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. ASM IP Holding B.v.'s 17.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 96 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ASM IP Holding B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
