Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 231 granted patents across 27 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G16H (HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS, i.e. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR THE HANDLING OR PROCESSING OF MEDICAL OR HEALTHCARE DATA).
The verdict
KPN holds 231 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #1,760 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
KPN Innovations Llc has been granted 231 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing KPN Innovations Llc at rank #1,760 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G16H (HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS, i.e. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR THE HANDLING OR PROCESSING OF MEDICAL OR HEALTHCARE DATA). As a US Corporation, KPN Innovations Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, KPN sits between Boston Dynamics, Inc. (231 patents, rank #1,756) and THK Co., Ltd. (231 patents, rank #1,764) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 231 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. KPN Innovations Llc's 18.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark KPN Innovations Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
KPN's 231 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
