Portfolio overview

Sonion Nederland B.v. has been granted 93 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Sonion Nederland B.v. at rank #3,899 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04R (LOUDSPEAKERS, MICROPHONES, GRAMOPHONE PICK-UPS OR LIKE ACOUSTIC ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS; DEAF-AID SETS; PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS). As a Foreign Corporation, Sonion Nederland B.v. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sonion sits between Superc-touch Corporation (93 patents, rank #3,895) and Aliphcom (92 patents, rank #3,903) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 43.1/100 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 48 grants, compared with 45 in the 2015–2019 window, a +7% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Sonion Nederland B.v.'s 16.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 20 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sonion Nederland B.v. 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.
