USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 218 granted patents across 16 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
Unisys holds 218 US patents across 16 technology areas, rank #1,853 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Unisys Corporation has been granted 218 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Unisys Corporation at rank #1,853 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Unisys Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Unisys sits between SL Corporation (218 patents, rank #1,849) and Newracom, Inc. (217 patents, rank #1,857) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.5/100 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 72 grants, compared with 146 in the 2015–2019 window, a -51% 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. Unisys Corporation's 17.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Unisys Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Unisys's 218 grants land it in the top 23% 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.
