How to read this
Every row here is an application — a request the USPTO has not yet decided. In plain English: these filings show where Cisco Systems, Inc.’s R&D effort is pointed right now, often 18–24 months before any product ships — but an application can be amended, abandoned, or rejected, and most confer no enforceable rights until granted. A “granted parent” tag means the filing continues a patent family that already has a grant — the new claims themselves are still pending. Filings are matched by applicant name, so work filed under subsidiary or research-entity names may not appear. Source: USPTO Open Data Portal (public).
Questions this page answers
How many patent applications does Cisco Systems, Inc. have on file?
Oxford Ledge tracks 69 U.S. patent applications for Cisco Systems, Inc., of which 54 continue an already-granted patent family. Every row is an application (a pending request to the USPTO), not a granted patent.
What is the difference between a patent application and a granted patent?
A patent application is a pending request filed with the USPTO; a granted patent is one the USPTO has examined and issued. These pages track applications, which signal a company's R&D direction before any patent is granted.
Where does this patent data come from?
The USPTO Open Data Portal (public), matched to the company's applicant registrations.
