USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 396 granted patents across 21 technology areas, active 2019–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS).
The verdict
Digital holds 396 US patents across 21 technology areas, rank #1,081 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Digital Global Systems, Inc. has been granted 396 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Digital Global Systems, Inc. at rank #1,081 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, Digital Global Systems, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Digital sits between THE Scripps Research Institute (400 patents, rank #1,077) and Commscope Connectivity Belgium BVBA (392 patents, rank #1,085) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.6/100 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 394 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +19600% 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. Digital Global Systems, Inc.'s 19.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Digital Global Systems, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Digital's 396 grants land it in the top 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.
