Portfolio overview

Electronic Arts Inc. has been granted 561 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Electronic Arts Inc. at rank #816 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in A63F (CARD, BOARD, OR ROULETTE GAMES; INDOOR GAMES USING SMALL MOVING PLAYING BODIES; VIDEO GAMES; GAMES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, Electronic Arts Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Electronic sits between Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.a. (568 patents, rank #812) and Unicharm Corporation (560 patents, rank #820) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.4/100 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 395 grants, compared with 166 in the 2015–2019 window, a +138% 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. Electronic Arts Inc.'s 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 25 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Electronic Arts Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
