Portfolio overview

Comcast Cable Communications, LLC has been granted 2,828 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Comcast Cable Communications, LLC at rank #132 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 61 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 27.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Comcast Cable Communications, LLC is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 78.7/100 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 2,081 grants, compared with 747 in the 2015–2019 window — a +179% 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. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC's 27.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 61 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Comcast Cable Communications, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
