Portfolio overview

Vicor Corporation has been granted 55 US utility patents between 2021 and 2025, placing Vicor Corporation at rank #6,202 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 39.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02M (APPARATUS FOR CONVERSION BETWEEN AC AND AC, BETWEEN AC AND DC, OR BETWEEN DC AND DC, AND FOR USE WITH MAINS OR SIMILAR POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS; CONVERSION OF DC OR AC INPUT POWER INTO SURGE OUTPUT POWER;). As a US Corporation, Vicor Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 63.0/100 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. Historical data spans 2021 through 2025, with 55 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Vicor Corporation's 39.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vicor Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
