Portfolio overview

Motorola Solutions, Inc. has been granted 1,555 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Motorola Solutions, Inc. at rank #277 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 117 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, Motorola Solutions, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Motorola sits between Meta Platforms Technologies, Llc (1,569 patents, rank #273) and The General Hospital Corporation (1,529 patents, rank #281) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.1/100 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 790 grants, compared with 765 in the 2015–2019 window, a +3% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Motorola Solutions, Inc.'s 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Motorola Solutions, 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.
