Portfolio overview
Elta Systems Ltd. has been granted 140 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Elta Systems Ltd. at rank #2,758 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 56 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a Foreign Corporation, Elta Systems Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 60.1/100 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 68 grants, compared with 72 in the 2015–2019 window — a -6% 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. Elta Systems Ltd.'s 23.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 56 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Elta Systems Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
