Portfolio overview

Cognitive Systems Corp. has been granted 87 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Cognitive Systems Corp. at rank #4,112 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a Foreign Corporation, Cognitive Systems Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cognitive sits between Board Of Trustees Of The Univeristy Of Alabama, For And On Behalf Of The University Of Alabama In Huntsville (87 patents, rank #4,108) and F-secure Corporation (87 patents, rank #4,116) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.7/100 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 48 grants, compared with 39 in the 2015–2019 window, a +23% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Cognitive Systems Corp.'s 24.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cognitive Systems Corp. 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.
