Portfolio overview

i4F Licensing NV has been granted 68 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing i4F Licensing NV at rank #5,131 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04F (FINISHING WORK ON BUILDINGS, e.g. STAIRS, FLOORS). As a Foreign Corporation, i4F Licensing NV is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 65.4/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 68 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. i4F Licensing NV's 23.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark i4F Licensing NV against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
