Portfolio overview
VIRGINIA TECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC. has been granted 324 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing VIRGINIA TECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC. at rank #1,311 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 161 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.6 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, VIRGINIA TECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 65.4/100 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 182 grants, compared with 142 in the 2015–2019 window — a +28% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. VIRGINIA TECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC.'s 18.6 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 VIRGINIA TECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
