Portfolio overview

EMC IP Holding Company Llc has been granted 7,359 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing EMC IP Holding Company Llc at rank #50 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 93 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, EMC IP Holding Company Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, EMC sits between Brother Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (7,931 patents, rank #46) and Siemens Aktiengesellschaft (7,003 patents, rank #54) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 71.9/100 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 4,901 grants, compared with 2,458 in the 2015–2019 window, a +99% 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. EMC IP Holding Company Llc's 18.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 93 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark EMC IP Holding Company Llc 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.
