Portfolio overview

INTERMOLECULAR, INC. has been granted 291 US utility patents between 2015 and 2021, placing INTERMOLECULAR, INC. at rank #1,434 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 55 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10N (ELECTRIC SOLID-STATE DEVICES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR). As a US Corporation, INTERMOLECULAR, INC. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.5/100 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 3 grants, compared with 288 in the 2015–2019 window — a -99% 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. INTERMOLECULAR, INC.'s 16.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 55 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark INTERMOLECULAR, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
