Portfolio overview

Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation has been granted 152 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation at rank #2,565 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 28.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H03K (PULSE TECHNIQUE). As a US Corporation, Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Peregrine sits between Mannkind Corporation (152 patents, rank #2,561) and AIR COOL Industrial Co., Ltd. (151 patents, rank #2,569) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.4/100 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 0 grants, compared with 152 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation's 28.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 29 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Peregrine's 152 grants land it in the top 11% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Peregrine ranks #2,565 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H03K - see who else leads that technology area. H03K leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
