Portfolio overview

1311854 Ontario Limited has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2015 and 2020, placing 1311854 Ontario Limited at rank #27,929 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21D (SHAFTS; TUNNELS; GALLERIES; LARGE UNDERGROUND CHAMBERS). As a Foreign Corporation, 1311854 Ontario Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, 1311854 sits between Thyssenkrupp Polysius Gmbh (10 patents, rank #27,925) and 2kdirect, Inc. (9 patents, rank #27,933) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 23.8/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 1 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a -87% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The Foreign Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.

Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. 1311854 Ontario Limited's 13.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark 1311854 Ontario Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
