Portfolio overview

DISH Wireless L.l.c. has been granted 365 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing DISH Wireless L.l.c. at rank #1,164 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, DISH Wireless L.l.c. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, DISH sits between Rubrik, Inc. (367 patents, rank #1,160) and Excalibur IP, Llc (364 patents, rank #1,168) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 72.8/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 365 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. DISH Wireless L.l.c.'s 18.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark DISH Wireless L.l.c. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
