Linear Technology Holding LLC

Linear Technology Holding LLC has been granted 200 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Linear Technology Holding LLC at rank #2,001 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 49 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02M (APPARATUS FOR CONVERSION BETWEEN AC AND AC, BETWEEN AC AND DC, OR BETWEEN DC AND DC, AND FOR USE WITH MAINS OR SIMILAR POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS; CONVERSION OF DC OR AC INPUT POWER INTO SURGE OUTPUT POWER;). As a US Corporation, Linear Technology Holding LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.9/100 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 29 grants, compared with 171 in the 2015–2019 window — a -83% 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. Linear Technology Holding LLC's 19.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 49 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Linear Technology Holding LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
