Portfolio overview

Space Systems/Loral, LLC has been granted 157 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing Space Systems/Loral, LLC at rank #2,491 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 52 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64G (COSMONAUTICS; VEHICLES OR EQUIPMENT THEREFOR). As a US Corporation, Space Systems/Loral, LLC is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 54.4/100 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 37 grants, compared with 120 in the 2015–2019 window — a -69% 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. Space Systems/Loral, LLC's 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 52 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Space Systems/Loral, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
