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. 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.
