Portfolio overview

View, Inc. has been granted 389 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing View, Inc. at rank #1,099 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 67 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02F (OPTICAL DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CONTROL OF LIGHT BY MODIFICATION OF THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MEDIA OF THE ELEMENTS INVOLVED THEREIN; NON-LINEAR OPTICS; FREQUENCY-CHANGING OF LIGHT; OPTICA). As a US Corporation, View, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, View sits between Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (390 patents, rank #1,095) and Contemporary Amperex Technology (hong Kong) Limited (387 patents, rank #1,103) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.2/100 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 272 grants, compared with 117 in the 2015–2019 window, a +132% 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. View, Inc.'s 23.9 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 67 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark View, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

View's 389 grants land it in the top 1% 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 - View ranks #1,099 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in G02F - see who else leads that technology area. G02F 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.
