USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 225 granted patents across 26 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
Philips holds 225 US patents across 26 technology areas, rank #1,809 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Philips Image Guided Therapy Corporation has been granted 225 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing Philips Image Guided Therapy Corporation at rank #1,809 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Philips Image Guided Therapy Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Philips sits between SK Planet Co., Ltd. (226 patents, rank #1,805) and Basell Poliolefine Italia S.r.l. (224 patents, rank #1,813) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.6/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 225 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Philips Image Guided Therapy Corporation's 17.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 26 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Philips Image Guided Therapy Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Philips's 225 grants land it in the top 3% 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.
