Portfolio overview

Cylance Inc. has been granted 107 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Cylance Inc. at rank #3,449 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Cylance Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 43.7/100 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 72 grants, compared with 35 in the 2015–2019 window — a +106% 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. Cylance Inc.'s 22.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Cylance Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
