Portfolio overview

1974 Productions, Inc. has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2015 and 2023, placing 1974 Productions, Inc. at rank #44,287 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06Q (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,). As a US Corporation, 1974 Productions, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, 1974 sits between 1824930 Alberta Ltd. (5 patents, rank #44,283) and 1worldvista Medical, Inc. (5 patents, rank #44,291) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 25.8/100 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 2 grants, compared with 3 in the 2015–2019 window, a -33% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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. 1974 Productions, Inc.'s 9.8 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark 1974 Productions, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
