Portfolio overview

VIVO Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. has been granted 1,451 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing VIVO Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. at rank #295 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 74 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04W (WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS). As a Foreign Corporation, VIVO Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, VIVO sits between Nanya Technology Corporation (1,461 patents, rank #291) and Advanced New Technologies Co., Ltd. (1,430 patents, rank #299) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 79.9/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 1,451 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The Foreign 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. VIVO Mobile Communication Co., Ltd.'s 16.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 74 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark VIVO Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

VIVO's 1,451 grants land it in the top 0.1% 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 - VIVO ranks #295 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H04W - see who else leads that technology area. H04W 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.
