USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 142 granted patents across 12 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION).
The verdict
Cohere holds 142 US patents across 12 technology areas, rank #2,720 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Cohere Technologies, Inc. has been granted 142 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Cohere Technologies, Inc. at rank #2,720 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Cohere Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Cohere sits between Teleflex Medical Incorporated (143 patents, rank #2,716) and Holtec International (142 patents, rank #2,724) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.9/100 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 98 grants, compared with 44 in the 2015–2019 window, a +123% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Cohere Technologies, Inc.'s 19.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cohere Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Cohere's 142 grants land it in the top 16% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
