Portfolio overview
INRIX Inc. has been granted 49 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing INRIX Inc. at rank #6,792 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 21 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G08G (TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, INRIX Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.0/100 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 21 grants, compared with 28 in the 2015–2019 window — a -25% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. INRIX Inc.'s 22.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 21 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark INRIX Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
