#1,468
Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 283 granted patents across 7 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING).
The verdict
Ab holds 283 US patents across 7 technology areas, rank #1,468 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Ab Initio Technology Llc has been granted 283 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ab Initio Technology Llc at rank #1,468 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 7 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 37.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Ab Initio Technology Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ab sits between Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation (284 patents, rank #1,464) and Chengdu Qinchuan IOT Technology Co., Ltd. (282 patents, rank #1,472) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.9/100 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 133 grants, compared with 150 in the 2015–2019 window, a -11% 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. Ab Initio Technology Llc's 37.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 7 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ab Initio Technology Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Ab's 283 grants land it in the top 18% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
