Portfolio overview
Bitdefender IPR Management Ltd. has been granted 85 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bitdefender IPR Management Ltd. at rank #4,185 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Bitdefender IPR Management Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.5/100 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 33 grants, compared with 52 in the 2015–2019 window — a -37% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Bitdefender IPR Management Ltd.'s 20.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bitdefender IPR Management Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
