Portfolio overview

Avast Software s.r.o. has been granted 118 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Avast Software s.r.o. at rank #3,172 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 15 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Avast Software s.r.o. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 50.7/100 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 93 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window — a +272% 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. Avast Software s.r.o.'s 21.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 15 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Avast Software s.r.o. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
