Portfolio overview

Nokia Solutions AND Networks OY has been granted 2,149 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nokia Solutions AND Networks OY at rank #183 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 80 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a Foreign Corporation, Nokia Solutions AND Networks OY is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Nokia sits between Cilag Gmbh International (2,210 patents, rank #179) and Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. (2,117 patents, rank #187) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 69.3/100 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 1,115 grants, compared with 1,034 in the 2015–2019 window, a +8% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Nokia Solutions AND Networks OY's 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 80 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nokia Solutions AND Networks OY against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
