USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 295 granted patents across 47 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10).
The verdict
Macom holds 295 US patents across 47 technology areas, rank #1,423 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Macom Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. has been granted 295 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Macom Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. at rank #1,423 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 47 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01L (SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES NOT COVERED BY CLASS H10). As a US Corporation, Macom Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Macom sits between Epcos Ag (295 patents, rank #1,419) and Genius Electronic Optical (xiamen) Co., Ltd. (294 patents, rank #1,427) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.2/100 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 195 grants, compared with 100 in the 2015–2019 window, a +95% 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. Macom Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc.'s 20.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 47 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Macom Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Macom's 295 grants land it in the top 1% 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.
