Fastest Growing Patent Programs

Filing velocity compares each company's 2020–2025 grant volume against its 2015–2019 baseline. To enter the leaderboard a company must have at least 20 grants in each window — this filter eliminates ratio noise from very small portfolios where a single year of activity can produce misleading 1,000% spikes. Of the 100 companies on the list, the top entries typically combine an absolute increase in filings with a deliberate technology shift visible in their CPC mix.

Read acceleration carefully. Rapid growth often signals a company pivoting into a new technology domain, preparing for capital-markets activity, or hardening against competitive threats — but it can also reflect catch-up filings after a quiet period, IP strategy changes following an acquisition, or aggressive provisional-to-utility conversions. Cross-reference each company's profile to see which CPC subclasses are driving the growth and whether the rise is broad-based or concentrated in one technology area.
