Where does 3D Plus rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), 3D Plus ranks #25,617 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does 3D Plus hold?

3D Plus holds 10 US utility patents granted between 2015 and 2023, spanning 12 technology areas.

What is 3D Plus's Innovation Score?

3D Plus has an Innovation Score of 28.2 out of 100 (27th percentile of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does 3D Plus focus on?

3D Plus's top technology area is H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10) with 6 patents, ranking #1,253 of 3,373 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 12 CPC subclasses total.

Is 3D Plus's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

3D Plus's recent grant velocity is -33% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). Grant activity has slowed relative to earlier years.

What does claim depth mean for 3D Plus's patents?

3D Plus's patents average 7.3 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the 3D Plus patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows 3D's Innovation Score is 28.2/100 (27th percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for 3D?

Each dot is one of 3D’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). 3D’s own 7.3 claims/patent is at or below the 19.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 3D's grants concentrate

3D Plus is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, 3D sits between 1Q, LLC and 80 Percent Arms Inc..

3D's three-year grant acceleration

3D Plus shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
