Broadcast isn’t one docket. Contribution feeds, codecs, conditional access, ad-insertion, and content delivery all see different examiner mixes and claim patterns. Ranking by allowance rate within H04N/H04H isolates performance in the systems you actually prosecute. It levels the field across firm size and docket mix and centers the outcome clients care about: Did the work convert to granted rights in this industry? CPC granularity keeps comparisons apples-to-apples, so a codec specialist isn’t measured against a distribution-heavy docket, and vice versa.
The result: fair, comparable standings you can defend in a partner meeting or an RFP.
Broadcast Media spans television systems, streaming pipelines, encoding/decoding, and broadcast arrangements—often overlapping with consumer devices and telecom. To keep comparisons fair and apples-to-apples, we anchor this view to CPC subclasses that most directly capture video systems and broadcast architectures. We emphasize H04N (television/video systems) and H04H (broadcast communication arrangements).
We did not measure peripheral device classes. For multi-industry filings, we classify by the primary CPC and standardized rules documented in the methodology.
