USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 305 granted patents across 17 technology areas, active 2022–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
Yahoo holds 305 US patents across 17 technology areas, rank #1,377 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Yahoo Assets Llc has been granted 305 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Yahoo Assets Llc at rank #1,377 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Yahoo Assets Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Yahoo sits between Stmicroelectronics (research & Development) Limited (306 patents, rank #1,373) and Pacific Biosciences OF California, Inc. (304 patents, rank #1,381) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 65.9/100 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 2022 through 2025, with 305 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Yahoo Assets Llc's 19.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Yahoo Assets Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Yahoo's 305 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
