Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 2,550 granted patents across 130 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS).
The verdict
Commscope holds 2,550 US patents across 130 technology areas, rank #151 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Commscope Technologies Llc has been granted 2,550 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Commscope Technologies Llc at rank #151 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 130 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, Commscope Technologies Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Commscope sits between Paypal, Inc. (2,609 patents, rank #147) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (2,513 patents, rank #155) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.5/100 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 1,493 grants, compared with 1,057 in the 2015–2019 window, a +41% 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. Commscope Technologies Llc's 18.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Commscope Technologies Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Commscope's 2,550 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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.
