Whitesource Ltd. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2024, placing Whitesource Ltd. at rank #30,568 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a Foreign Corporation, Whitesource Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Whitesource sits between Westport FUEL Systems Canada Inc. (9 patents, rank #30,564) and Win&win Co. Ltd. (9 patents, rank #30,572) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.9/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 7 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +250% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. Whitesource Ltd.'s 17.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Whitesource Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
