Portfolio overview
CreeLED, Inc. has been granted 114 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing CreeLED, Inc. at rank #3,275 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10H (INORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES HAVING POTENTIAL BARRIERS). As a US Corporation, CreeLED, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 114 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. CreeLED, Inc.'s 21.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark CreeLED, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
