Nordic Semiconductor ASA

Nordic Semiconductor ASA has been granted 195 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Nordic Semiconductor ASA at rank #2,038 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Nordic Semiconductor ASA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 64.6/100 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 147 grants, compared with 48 in the 2015–2019 window — a +206% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Nordic Semiconductor ASA's 18.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 33 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Nordic Semiconductor ASA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
