USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 591 granted patents across 16 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
OPEN holds 591 US patents across 16 technology areas, rank #775 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
OPEN TEXT Corporation has been granted 591 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing OPEN TEXT Corporation at rank #775 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, OPEN TEXT Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, OPEN sits between Red Hat Israel Ltd. (594 patents, rank #771) and Tohoku University (589 patents, rank #779) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.0/100 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 475 grants, compared with 116 in the 2015–2019 window, a +309% 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. OPEN TEXT Corporation's 19.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark OPEN TEXT Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
OPEN's 591 grants land it in the top 5% 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.
