Portfolio overview

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. has been granted 630 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. at rank #724 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 98 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Maxim sits between Steelcase Inc. (632 patents, rank #720) and Spotify AB (626 patents, rank #728) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.8/100 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 195 grants, compared with 435 in the 2015–2019 window, a -55% 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. Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.'s 16.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 98 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
