Portfolio overview

Earlens Corporation has been granted 84 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Earlens Corporation at rank #4,237 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, Earlens Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 52.8/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 53 grants, compared with 31 in the 2015–2019 window — a +71% 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. Earlens Corporation's 20.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Earlens Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Earlens's 84 grants land it in the top 10% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance — Earlens ranks #4,237 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04R — see who else leads that technology area. H04R leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
