Portfolio overview

Teradyne, Inc. has been granted 149 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Teradyne, Inc. at rank #2,616 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 55 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01R (MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES). As a US Corporation, Teradyne, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 63.7/100 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 85 grants, compared with 64 in the 2015–2019 window — a +33% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Teradyne, Inc.'s 24.0 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 55 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Teradyne, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
