USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 80 granted patents across 7 technology areas, active 2019–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; RADIATION THERAPY; ULTRASOUND THERAPY).
The verdict
Livanova holds 80 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #4,421 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Livanova USA, Inc. has been granted 80 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Livanova USA, Inc. at rank #4,421 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; RADIATION THERAPY; ULTRASOUND THERAPY). As a US Corporation, Livanova USA, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Livanova sits between Dupont Safety & Construction, Inc. (80 patents, rank #4,417) and Nippon HOSO Kyokai (80 patents, rank #4,425) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.8/100 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 65 grants, compared with 15 in the 2015–2019 window, a +333% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Livanova USA, Inc.'s 19.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Livanova USA, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Livanova's 80 grants land it in the top 32% 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.
