Portfolio overview

Varex Imaging Corporation has been granted 105 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Varex Imaging Corporation at rank #3,517 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 42 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01J (ELECTRIC DISCHARGE TUBES OR DISCHARGE LAMPS). As a US Corporation, Varex Imaging Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Varex sits between Tianma Japan, Ltd. (105 patents, rank #3,513) and Zhejiang Orient Gene Biotech Co., Ltd (105 patents, rank #3,521) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.5/100 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 56 grants, compared with 49 in the 2015–2019 window, a +14% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Varex Imaging Corporation's 20.5 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 42 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Varex Imaging Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Varex's 105 grants land it in the top 8% 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 - Varex ranks #3,517 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01J - see who else leads that technology area. H01J 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.
