Portfolio overview
Ross Video Limited has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Ross Video Limited at rank #18,057 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04N (PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION). As a Foreign Corporation, Ross Video Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 41.5/100 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 3 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window, a -77% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Ross Video Limited's 20.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ross Video Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
