Portfolio overview

Securus Technologies, Llc has been granted 197 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Securus Technologies, Llc at rank #2,027 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04M (TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Securus Technologies, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Securus sits between Oculus VR, Llc (197 patents, rank #2,023) and Olympus Winter & IBE Gmbh (196 patents, rank #2,031) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.6/100 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 83 grants, compared with 114 in the 2015–2019 window, a -27% 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. Securus Technologies, Llc's 21.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Securus Technologies, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
