Portfolio overview
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company has been granted 63 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company at rank #5,454 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 37.5/100 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 46 grants, compared with 17 in the 2015–2019 window — a +171% 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. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company's 8.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
