Portfolio overview

Fedex Corporate Services Inc. has been granted 199 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Fedex Corporate Services Inc. at rank #2,007 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 49 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 45.7 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, Fedex Corporate Services Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fedex sits between Razor USA Llc (200 patents, rank #2,003) and Sorenson IP Holdings, Llc (199 patents, rank #2,011) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.2/100 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 119 grants, compared with 80 in the 2015–2019 window, a +49% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Fedex Corporate Services Inc.'s 45.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 49 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fedex Corporate Services Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Fedex's 199 grants land it in the top 2% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Fedex ranks #2,007 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G06Q - see who else leads that technology area. G06Q leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
