The verdict
Harman holds 32 US patents across 20 technology areas, rank #9,787 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Harman Professional Denmark Aps has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Harman Professional Denmark Aps at rank #9,787 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F21W (INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES F21K, F21L, F21S and F21V, RELATING TO USES OR APPLICATIONS OF LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS). As a Foreign Corporation, Harman Professional Denmark Aps is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 45.0/100 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 28 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +600% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Harman Professional Denmark Aps's 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Harman Professional Denmark Aps against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Harman's 32 grants land it in the top 24% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
