Portfolio overview

United Services Automobile Association (usaa) has been granted 2,549 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing United Services Automobile Association (usaa) at rank #152 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 139 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, United Services Automobile Association (usaa) is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, United sits between Red Hat, Inc. (2,585 patents, rank #148) and T-mobile USA, Inc. (2,513 patents, rank #156) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 73.0/100 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 1,963 grants, compared with 586 in the 2015–2019 window, a +235% 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. United Services Automobile Association (usaa)'s 18.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark United Services Automobile Association (usaa) against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
