Patent Portfolios by Size
100 tracked companies grouped by patent holdings. Portfolio size accounts for 30% of the Patent Strength Score — larger portfolios generally indicate broader IP protection and more licensing leverage.
Mega (1,000+ Patents)
Companies with massive patent portfolios exceeding 1,000 patents. These are typically Fortune 500 technology and pharmaceutical leaders.
Large (100-999 Patents)
Companies with significant patent holdings. These firms actively invest in R&D and use patents to protect key technologies.
Medium (10-99 Patents)
Companies with focused patent portfolios. These firms hold patents in specific technology niches rather than broad coverage.
Small (<10 Patents)
Companies with minimal patent holdings. These may be startups, service companies, or firms that rely on trade secrets over patents.
