Portfolio overview

Lumileds Llc has been granted 930 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Lumileds Llc at rank #475 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 87 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H10H (INORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES HAVING POTENTIAL BARRIERS). As a US Corporation, Lumileds Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Lumileds sits between Uber Technologies, Inc. (941 patents, rank #471) and ZEON Corporation (926 patents, rank #479) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.0/100 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 767 grants, compared with 163 in the 2015–2019 window, a +371% 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. Lumileds Llc's 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 87 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Lumileds Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
