Portfolio overview
Intel IP Corporation has been granted 1,818 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Intel IP Corporation at rank #223 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 85 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, Intel IP Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Intel sits between California Institute OF Technology (1,842 patents, rank #219) and Wistron Corporation (1,775 patents, rank #227) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 63.3/100 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 325 grants, compared with 1,493 in the 2015–2019 window, a -78% 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. Intel IP Corporation's 20.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 85 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Intel IP Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Intel's 1,818 grants land it in the top 2% 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 - Intel ranks #223 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04W - see who else leads that technology area. H04W 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.
