Portfolio overview

Velodyne Lidar USA, Inc. has been granted 56 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Velodyne Lidar USA, Inc. at #6,089 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 25 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01S (RADIO DIRECTION-FINDING; RADIO NAVIGATION; DETERMINING DISTANCE OR VELOCITY BY USE OF RADIO WAVES; LOCATING OR PRESENCE-DETECTING BY USE OF THE REFLECTION OR RERADIATION OF RADIO WAVES; ANALOGOUS ARRA). As a US Corporation, Velodyne Lidar USA, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Velodyne sits between Ultratec, Inc. (56 patents, rank #6,083) and Voestalpine Stahl Gmbh (56 patents, rank #6,091) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.1/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 56 total grants over that period. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Velodyne Lidar USA, Inc.'s 19.1 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 25 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
