The verdict
Sutherland holds 10 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #27,538 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Sutherland Global Services Inc. has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Sutherland Global Services Inc. at rank #27,538 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 31.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Sutherland Global Services Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Sutherland sits between Suvolta, Inc. (10 patents, rank #27,534) and Synthon Biopharmaceuticals B.v. (10 patents, rank #27,542) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.4/100 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 8 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +300% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Sutherland Global Services Inc.'s 31.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Sutherland Global Services Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Sutherland's 10 grants land it in the top 26% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
