Portfolio overview
SCA IPLA Holdings Inc. has been granted 111 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing SCA IPLA Holdings Inc. at rank #3,359 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a US Corporation, SCA IPLA Holdings Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, SCA sits between PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (111 patents, rank #3,355) and Vignet Incorporated (111 patents, rank #3,363) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.9/100 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 21 grants, compared with 90 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 US 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. SCA IPLA Holdings Inc.'s 22.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark SCA IPLA Holdings Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
