Portfolio overview

IGT has been granted 2,014 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing IGT at rank #201 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 37 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07F (COIN-FREED OR LIKE APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, IGT is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, IGT sits between Disney Enterprises, Inc. (2,051 patents, rank #197) and Lam Research Corporation (1,965 patents, rank #205) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.5/100 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 1,100 grants, compared with 914 in the 2015–2019 window, a +20% 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. IGT's 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 37 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark IGT against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

IGT's 2,014 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - IGT ranks #201 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G07F - see who else leads that technology area. G07F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
