Portfolio overview

Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. has been granted 175 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. at rank #2,240 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Fujifilm sits between Wincor Nixdorf International Gmbh (176 patents, rank #2,236) and Oracle America, Inc. (175 patents, rank #2,244) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.0/100 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 121 grants, compared with 54 in the 2015–2019 window, a +124% 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. Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc.'s 15.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. 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.
