Portfolio overview
L3harris Global Communications, Inc. has been granted 12 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing L3harris Global Communications, Inc. at rank #22,875 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01Q (ANTENNAS, i.e. RADIO AERIALS). As a US Corporation, L3harris Global Communications, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 52.9/100 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. Historical data spans 2024 through 2025, with 12 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. L3harris Global Communications, Inc.'s 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 14 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark L3harris Global Communications, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
