Portfolio overview

Micro Focus Llc has been granted 532 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Micro Focus Llc at rank #857 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Micro Focus Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Micro sits between Veritas Technologies Llc (535 patents, rank #853) and Lyft, Inc. (526 patents, rank #861) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.4/100 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 492 grants, compared with 40 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1130% 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. Micro Focus Llc's 18.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 29 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Micro Focus 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.
