Portfolio overview

Medtronic Advanced Energy Llc has been granted 76 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Medtronic Advanced Energy Llc at rank #4,634 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Medtronic Advanced Energy Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Medtronic sits between Kyushu Institute OF Technology (76 patents, rank #4,630) and Paris Presents Incorporated (76 patents, rank #4,638) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.4/100 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 47 grants, compared with 29 in the 2015–2019 window, a +62% 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. Medtronic Advanced Energy Llc's 19.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Medtronic Advanced Energy Llc 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.
