Frequently Asked Questions

IBM holds 150 US patents with an average of 27 claims per patent. The portfolio has a Patent Strength Score of 65/100 (Grade B).

IBM has 0 patents expiring within 2 years and 11 patents expiring within 5 years. The portfolio has a healthy time horizon.

IBM's key technology focus areas include Computing & Data Processing, Telecommunications, Information Storage. The portfolio spans 4 distinct technology classifications (CPC codes).

The Patent Strength Score (0-100, A-F) benchmarks a company's patent portfolio quality based on portfolio size (30%), claims breadth (25%), time remaining to expiration (25%), and portfolio diversity across technology areas (20%).

Last updated:

Patent Strength Score is based on portfolio size, claims breadth, time to expiration, and technology diversity using CPC classifications.

this entity is one of the data points covered by this site’s U.S. pharmaceutical patent expirations dataset. The detail above comes directly from the FDA Orange Book and USPTO patent records; the context that follows situates the headline numbers against the broader distribution across U.S. brand-name drugs.

The methodology behind every numeric value on this page is publicly documented on the the FDA Orange Book and USPTO patent records portal and described in detail on this site’s methodology page. Refresh cadence varies by underlying series; the page surfaces the as-of date for each number so readers can trace any figure back to the source release.

For readers using this page as a decision input, the related-entity pages elsewhere on the site provide the comparison set. The most useful comparison for this entity is typically a peer within U.S. brand-name drugs with similar size, similar exposure, or similar geography — not the national-level summary alone.
