Portfolio overview

Panasonic Holdings Corporation has been granted 1,518 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Panasonic Holdings Corporation at rank #284 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 270 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Panasonic Holdings Corporation is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Panasonic sits between Palantir Technologies Inc. (1,534 patents, rank #280) and Altria Client Services Llc (1,483 patents, rank #288) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.6/100 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 587 grants, compared with 931 in the 2015–2019 window, a -37% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Panasonic Holdings Corporation's 11.1 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Panasonic Holdings Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
