The verdict
Hedera holds 7 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #35,719 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Hedera Hashgraph, Llc has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2022 and 2023, placing Hedera Hashgraph, Llc at rank #35,719 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Hedera Hashgraph, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Hedera sits between Hearst Magazine Media, Inc. (7 patents, rank #35,715) and Heil Trailer International, Llc (7 patents, rank #35,723) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2023, with 7 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Hedera Hashgraph, Llc's 22.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Hedera Hashgraph, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Hedera's 7 grants land it in the top 17% 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.
