Portfolio overview

Royal Bank Of Canada has been granted 221 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Royal Bank Of Canada at rank #1,831 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Royal Bank Of Canada is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Royal sits between Angel Co., Ltd. (221 patents, rank #1,827) and Ebm-papst Mulfingen Gmbh & Co. KG (221 patents, rank #1,835) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.0/100 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 209 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1642% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Royal Bank Of Canada's 20.1 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 Royal Bank Of Canada against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
