Portfolio overview

Navico Holding AS has been granted 175 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing Navico Holding AS at rank #2,243 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 57 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01S (RADIO DIRECTION-FINDING; RADIO NAVIGATION; DETERMINING DISTANCE OR VELOCITY BY USE OF RADIO WAVES; LOCATING OR PRESENCE-DETECTING BY USE OF THE REFLECTION OR RERADIATION OF RADIO WAVES; ANALOGOUS ARRA). As a Foreign Corporation, Navico Holding AS is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Navico sits between D-wave Systems Inc. (175 patents, rank #2,239) and SZ DJI OSMO Technology Co., Ltd. (175 patents, rank #2,247) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.3/100 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 70 grants, compared with 105 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Navico Holding AS's 20.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 57 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Navico Holding AS 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.
