Portfolio overview

Vivint Llc has been granted 439 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Vivint Llc at rank #1,001 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 57 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G08B (SIGNALLING OR CALLING SYSTEMS; ORDER TELEGRAPHS; ALARM SYSTEMS). As a US Corporation, Vivint Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Vivint sits between BETA AIR Llc (441 patents, rank #997) and Block, Inc. (437 patents, rank #1,005) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 58.1/100 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 167 grants, compared with 272 in the 2015–2019 window, a -39% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Vivint Llc's 17.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 57 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Vivint Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
