Portfolio overview
HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P. has been granted 8,656 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P. at rank #40 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 293 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 71.9/100 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 4,661 grants, compared with 3,995 in the 2015–2019 window — a +17% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.'s 15.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
