Portfolio overview
ELECTRIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE has been granted 111 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ELECTRIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE at rank #3,343 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 57 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, ELECTRIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 52.4/100 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 33 grants, compared with 78 in the 2015–2019 window — a -58% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. ELECTRIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE's 14.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 57 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ELECTRIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
