Portfolio overview

Proton World International N.v. has been granted 104 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Proton World International N.v. at rank #3,540 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Proton World International N.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Proton sits between Malikie Innovations Limited (104 patents, rank #3,536) and Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. (104 patents, rank #3,544) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.8/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 59 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window, a +31% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Proton World International N.v.'s 21.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Proton World International N.v. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Proton's 104 grants land it in the top 14% 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 - Proton ranks #3,540 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G06F - see who else leads that technology area. G06F 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.
