Portfolio overview
Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2018 and 2024, placing Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services at rank #24,749 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G16H (HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS, i.e. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR THE HANDLING OR PROCESSING OF MEDICAL OR HEALTHCARE DATA). As a US Corporation, Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Michigan sits between Melitta Europa Gmbh & Co. KG (11 patents, rank #24,745) and Micron Electronics Llc (11 patents, rank #24,753) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.8/100 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 7 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a +75% 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. Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services's 18.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
