Portfolio overview

Trend Micro Incorporated has been granted 284 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Trend Micro Incorporated at rank #1,465 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Trend Micro Incorporated is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Trend sits between Conair Llc (284 patents, rank #1,461) and Firmenich Sa (283 patents, rank #1,469) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.7/100 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 115 grants, compared with 169 in the 2015–2019 window, a -32% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The Foreign 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. Trend Micro Incorporated's 14.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Trend Micro Incorporated against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
