USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 340 granted patents across 20 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS).
The verdict
Parallel holds 340 US patents across 20 technology areas, rank #1,244 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Parallel Wireless, Inc. has been granted 340 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Parallel Wireless, Inc. at rank #1,244 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, Parallel Wireless, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Parallel sits between Hartford FIRE Insurance Company (342 patents, rank #1,240) and Smith & Nephew Plc (339 patents, rank #1,248) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.9/100 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 262 grants, compared with 78 in the 2015–2019 window, a +236% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The US 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. Parallel Wireless, Inc.'s 15.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Parallel Wireless, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Parallel's 340 grants land it in the top 9% 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.
