Portfolio overview

International Technology Center FZC has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2016 and 2020, placing International Technology Center FZC at rank #26,544 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 29.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09K (MATERIALS FOR MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS, NOT PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE). As a Foreign Corporation, International Technology Center FZC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, International sits between Intelligent Automation, Llc (10 patents, rank #26,540) and Invisible Sentinel, Inc. (10 patents, rank #26,548) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 37.9/100 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 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -89% 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. International Technology Center FZC's 29.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark International Technology Center FZC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
