Overall rank by patents
#1,916
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 210 granted patents across 63 technology areas, active 2018–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES).
PHC HOLDINGS CORPORATION has been granted 210 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing PHC HOLDINGS CORPORATION at rank #1,916 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 63 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a Foreign Corporation, PHC HOLDINGS CORPORATION is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. 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 157 grants, compared with 53 in the 2015–2019 window — a +196% 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. PHC HOLDINGS CORPORATION's 7.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a multi-domain presence across 63 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark PHC HOLDINGS CORPORATION against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
