Portfolio overview

Sirius XM Radio Inc. has been granted 97 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sirius XM Radio Inc. at rank #3,751 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 22 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04H (BROADCAST COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Sirius XM Radio Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sirius sits between SHIN TAI Spurt Water OF THE Garden Tools Co., Ltd (97 patents, rank #3,747) and Toyoda IRON Works Co., Ltd. (97 patents, rank #3,755) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 48.9/100 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 46 grants, compared with 51 in the 2015–2019 window, a -10% 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. Sirius XM Radio Inc.'s 17.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 22 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sirius XM Radio Inc. 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.
