Portfolio overview
Tenable Network Security, Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2015 and 2018, placing Tenable Network Security, Inc. at rank #37,945 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04L (TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION). As a US Corporation, Tenable Network Security, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tenable sits between Telsima Corporation (7 patents, rank #37,941) and Terra Sonic International, Llc (7 patents, rank #37,949) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.2/100 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 0 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Tenable Network Security, Inc.'s 26.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tenable Network Security, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
