Portfolio overview

Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. has been granted 184 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. at rank #2,144 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Live sits between ETH Zurich (184 patents, rank #2,140) and Solaero Technologies Corp. (184 patents, rank #2,148) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.9/100 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 113 grants, compared with 71 in the 2015–2019 window, a +59% 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. Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.'s 19.4 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 Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
