Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 152 granted patents across 12 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; RADIATION THERAPY; ULTRASOUND THERAPY).
The verdict
Nevro holds 152 US patents across 12 technology areas — rank #2,564 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Nevro Corp. has been granted 152 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nevro Corp. at rank #2,564 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; RADIATION THERAPY; ULTRASOUND THERAPY). As a US Corporation, Nevro Corp. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 49.3/100 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 82 in the 2015–2019 window — a -15% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Nevro Corp.'s 24.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nevro Corp. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
