Portfolio overview
Rakuten Symphony, Inc. has been granted 100 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing Rakuten Symphony, Inc. at rank #3,664 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Rakuten Symphony, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.2/100 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 2024 through 2025, with 100 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. Rakuten Symphony, Inc.'s 17.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Rakuten Symphony, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
