Portfolio overview

Infineon Technologies Austria Ag has been granted 1,650 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Infineon Technologies Austria Ag at rank #258 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 82 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10D (INORGANIC ELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES). As a Foreign Corporation, Infineon Technologies Austria Ag is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Infineon sits between Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. (1,672 patents, rank #254) and Stryker Corporation (1,619 patents, rank #262) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.6/100 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 674 grants, compared with 976 in the 2015–2019 window, a -31% 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. Infineon Technologies Austria Ag's 19.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 82 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Infineon Technologies Austria Ag 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.
