Portfolio overview

AT&T Mobility II Llc has been granted 1,742 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AT&T Mobility II Llc at rank #239 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 75 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, AT&T Mobility II Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, At&t sits between ZF Friedrichshafen Ag (1,756 patents, rank #235) and Merck Patent Gmbh (1,728 patents, rank #243) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.5/100 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 613 grants, compared with 1,129 in the 2015–2019 window, a -46% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. AT&T Mobility II Llc's 19.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 75 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AT&T Mobility II Llc 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.
