Portfolio overview

Gen Digital Inc. has been granted 61 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Gen Digital Inc. at #5,590 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Gen Digital Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Gen sits between Factor Bioscience Inc. (61 patents, rank #5,586) and Harbin Engineering University (61 patents, rank #5,594) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 61 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Gen Digital Inc.'s 19.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 11 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
