Portfolio overview

ABL IP Holding Llc has been granted 830 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ABL IP Holding Llc at rank #537 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 117 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H05B (ELECTRIC HEATING; ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT SOURCES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, ABL IP Holding Llc is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ABL sits between Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (842 patents, rank #533) and University Of Massachusetts (828 patents, rank #541) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.2/100 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 374 grants, compared with 456 in the 2015–2019 window, a -18% 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. ABL IP Holding Llc's 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ABL IP Holding Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
