Portfolio overview

GENBAND US LLC has been granted 105 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing GENBAND US LLC at rank #3,494 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, GENBAND US LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 40.4/100 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 14 grants, compared with 91 in the 2015–2019 window — a -85% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. GENBAND US LLC's 20.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GENBAND US LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Genband's 105 grants land it in the top 36% by Innovation Score — but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
