Portfolio overview

Federal Express Corporation has been granted 96 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Federal Express Corporation at rank #3,771 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 58 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 31.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, Federal Express Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.9/100 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 67 grants, compared with 29 in the 2015–2019 window — a +131% 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. Federal Express Corporation's 31.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 58 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Federal Express Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
