Portfolio overview
Polaroid IP B.v. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing Polaroid IP B.v. at rank #49,765 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G03F (PHOTOMECHANICAL PRODUCTION OF TEXTURED OR PATTERNED SURFACES, e.g. FOR PRINTING, FOR PROCESSING OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES; MATERIALS THEREFOR; ORIGINALS THEREFOR; APPARATUS SPECIALLY ADAPTED THEREFOR;). As a Foreign Corporation, Polaroid IP B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Polaroid sits between Point Inside, Inc. (5 patents, rank #49,761) and Polyvagal Science Llc (5 patents, rank #49,769) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.8/100 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 2023 through 2025, with 5 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Polaroid IP B.v.'s 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Polaroid IP B.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Polaroid's 5 grants land it in the top 71% 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 - Polaroid ranks #49,765 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
- Most of this portfolio concentrates in G03F - see who else leads that technology area. G03F 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.
