Portfolio overview

The Mathworks, Inc. has been granted 450 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing The Mathworks, Inc. at rank #976 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 25.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, The Mathworks, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, The sits between Toshiba Mitsubishi-electric Industrial Systems Corporation (452 patents, rank #972) and THE Coca-cola Company (449 patents, rank #980) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.9/100 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 99 grants, compared with 351 in the 2015–2019 window, a -72% 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. The Mathworks, Inc.'s 25.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, 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 Mathworks, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

The's 450 grants land it in the top 4% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - The ranks #976 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G06F - see who else leads that technology area. G06F leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
