Portfolio overview
Stryker Ireland Technology Ltd has been granted 6 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing Stryker Ireland Technology Ltd at rank #43,384 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a Foreign Corporation, Stryker Ireland Technology Ltd is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Stryker sits between Stroller Tech Limited (6 patents, rank #43,380) and Sugar Beets, Llc (6 patents, rank #43,388) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 36.1/100 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. Historical data spans 2024 through 2025, with 6 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Stryker Ireland Technology Ltd's 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Stryker Ireland Technology Ltd against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
