Portfolio overview

The ADT Security Corporation has been granted 110 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing The ADT Security Corporation at rank #3,384 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G08B (SIGNALLING OR CALLING SYSTEMS; ORDER TELEGRAPHS; ALARM SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, The ADT Security Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Op-hygiene IP Gmbh (110 patents, rank #3,380) and Arcam AB (109 patents, rank #3,388) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 67.8/100 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 105 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2000% 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. The ADT Security Corporation's 17.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark The ADT Security Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
