Portfolio overview

Comcast Cable Communications Management, Llc has been granted 95 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Comcast Cable Communications Management, Llc at rank #3,800 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a US Corporation, Comcast Cable Communications Management, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Comcast sits between American Airlines, Inc. (95 patents, rank #3,796) and Dialog Semiconductor B.v. (95 patents, rank #3,804) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.6/100 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 60 grants, compared with 35 in the 2015–2019 window, a +71% 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 Management, Llc's 23.2 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 Comcast Cable Communications Management, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
