The verdict
VAST holds 73 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #4,799 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
VAST DATA Ltd. has been granted 73 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing VAST DATA Ltd. at rank #4,799 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, VAST DATA Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, VAST sits between Staples, Inc. (73 patents, rank #4,795) and Affymetrix, Inc. (72 patents, rank #4,803) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 55.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 73 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. VAST DATA Ltd.'s 19.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark VAST DATA Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
VAST's 73 grants land it in the top 7% 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.
