USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 926 granted patents across 141 technology areas, active 2016–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION).
The verdict
Verily holds 926 US patents across 141 technology areas, rank #478 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Verily Life Sciences Llc has been granted 926 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Verily Life Sciences Llc at rank #478 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 141 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; IDENTIFICATION). As a US Corporation, Verily Life Sciences Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Verily sits between Wacom Co., Ltd. (933 patents, rank #474) and THE University OF Tokyo (920 patents, rank #482) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 64.6/100 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 568 grants, compared with 358 in the 2015–2019 window, a +59% 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. Verily Life Sciences Llc's 18.8 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 Verily Life Sciences Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Verily's 926 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
