The verdict
Theravance holds 11 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #25,400 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Theravance Respiratory Company, Llc has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing Theravance Respiratory Company, Llc at rank #25,400 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a US Corporation, Theravance Respiratory Company, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Theravance sits between The Notebook, Llc (11 patents, rank #25,396) and Thread Wallets Llc (11 patents, rank #25,404) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 24.2/100 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 2 grants, compared with 9 in the 2015–2019 window, a -78% 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. Theravance Respiratory Company, Llc's 14.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Theravance Respiratory Company, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Theravance's 11 grants land it in the top 86% 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.
