Portfolio overview

Interdigital Patent Holdings, Inc. has been granted 2,111 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Interdigital Patent Holdings, Inc. at rank #189 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 77 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, Interdigital Patent Holdings, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Interdigital sits between Shimadzu Corporation (2,128 patents, rank #185) and Fujifilm Business Innovation Corp. (2,077 patents, rank #193) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 71.3/100 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 1,315 grants, compared with 796 in the 2015–2019 window, a +65% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Interdigital Patent Holdings, Inc.'s 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 77 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Interdigital Patent Holdings, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
