Overall rank by patents
#12,139
of 50,000 tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 25 granted patents across 11 technology areas, recorded in grant years 2020–2025. Grant-trend analysis is cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search; it does not measure application filings, current R&D, or legal strength. Primary class: H01B (CABLES; CONDUCTORS; INSULATORS; SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR THEIR CONDUCTIVE, INSULATING OR DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES).
The verdict
According to USPTO PatentsView, NKT ranks #12,139 of 50,000 tracked US assignees by granted-patent volume, with 25 patents across 11 technology areas.
NKT HV Cables AB has been granted 25 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing NKT HV Cables AB at #12,139 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01B (CABLES; CONDUCTORS; INSULATORS; SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR THEIR CONDUCTIVE, INSULATING OR DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, NKT HV Cables AB is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, NKT sits between Nanchang O-film TECH. Co., Ltd. (25 patents, rank #12,129) and National Coupling Company, Inc. (25 patents, rank #12,137) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.6/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 25 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 Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. NKT HV Cables AB's 15.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 11 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
NKT's 25 grants land it in the top 35% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
