USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 129 granted patents across 20 technology areas, active 2022–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION).
The verdict
DISH holds 129 US patents across 20 technology areas, rank #2,944 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
DISH Network Technologies India Private Limited has been granted 129 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing DISH Network Technologies India Private Limited at rank #2,944 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, DISH Network Technologies India Private Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DISH sits between Xiamen Sanan Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (130 patents, rank #2,940) and Line Plus Corporation (129 patents, rank #2,948) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.2/100 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 2022 through 2025, with 129 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The Foreign 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. DISH Network Technologies India Private Limited's 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DISH Network Technologies India Private Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
DISH's 129 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
