Portfolio overview

GN Netcom A/s has been granted 84 US utility patents between 2015 and 2019, placing GN Netcom A/s at rank #4,240 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a Foreign Corporation, GN Netcom A/s is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, GN sits between Delaware Capital Formation, Inc. (84 patents, rank #4,236) and IMRA America, Inc. (84 patents, rank #4,244) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 34.0/100 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 0 grants, compared with 84 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The Foreign 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. GN Netcom A/s's 9.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark GN Netcom A/s 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.
