What this shows Nielsen Consumer Llc stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-DENSE, TYPE-USCORP, SPAN-YRS, BOOK-RICH. Volume places it #5,304 of 50,000; Innovation Score 59.7/100 sits in the top 4% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Liebherr-verzahntechnik Gmbh (±0 grants).
Nielsen Consumer Llc has been granted 65 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Nielsen Consumer Llc at #5,304 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 14 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, Nielsen Consumer Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nielsen sits between Liebherr-verzahntechnik Gmbh (65 patents, rank #5,299) and Poclain Hydraulics Industrie (65 patents, rank #5,307) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.7/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 65 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Nielsen Consumer Llc's 20.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 14 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
