Portfolio overview

HTC Corporation has been granted 1,709 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing HTC Corporation at rank #248 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 122 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, HTC Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, HTC sits between THE Johns Hopkins University (1,727 patents, rank #244) and Intuit Inc. (1,684 patents, rank #252) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.8/100 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 629 grants, compared with 1,080 in the 2015–2019 window, a -42% 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. HTC Corporation's 13.2 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 HTC Corporation 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.
