Change Healthcare Holdings, Llc has been granted 83 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Change Healthcare Holdings, Llc at rank #4,281 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Change Healthcare Holdings, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Change sits between Beijing Research Institute OF Chemical Industry, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (83 patents, rank #4,277) and Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. (83 patents, rank #4,285) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.9/100 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 42 grants, compared with 41 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Change Healthcare Holdings, Llc's 18.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Change Healthcare Holdings, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
