Portfolio overview
Egain Corporation has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Egain Corporation at rank #30,673 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Egain Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, egain sits between Dewaal IP Llc (9 patents, rank #30,669) and Fmad Engineering Kabushiki Gaisha (9 patents, rank #30,677) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 33.0/100 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 1 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -87% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Egain Corporation's 18.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Egain Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
egain's 9 grants land it in the top 57% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04L - see who else leads that technology area. H04L 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.
