Portfolio overview

HARRIS CORPORATION has been granted 437 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing HARRIS CORPORATION at rank #1,006 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 143 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a US Corporation, HARRIS CORPORATION is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 58.9/100 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 35 grants, compared with 402 in the 2015–2019 window — a -91% 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. HARRIS CORPORATION's 20.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark HARRIS CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
