Portfolio overview
MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES TLV LTD. has been granted 102 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES TLV LTD. at rank #3,601 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES TLV LTD. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 39.6/100 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 51 grants, compared with 51 in the 2015–2019 window — a +0% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The Foreign 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. MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES TLV LTD.'s 17.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES TLV LTD. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
