Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record — 199 granted patents across 23 technology areas, active 2017–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: H04M (TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION).
Sorenson IP Holdings, LLC has been granted 199 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Sorenson IP Holdings, LLC at rank #2,011 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04M (TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Sorenson IP Holdings, LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 47.1/100 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 70 grants, compared with 129 in the 2015–2019 window — a -46% 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. Sorenson IP Holdings, LLC's 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sorenson IP Holdings, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
