USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 37 granted patents across 27 technology areas, active 2019–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES).
The verdict
ABS holds 37 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #8,522 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
ABS Global, Inc. has been granted 37 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing ABS Global, Inc. at rank #8,522 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, ABS Global, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ABS sits between Yieldmo, Inc. (38 patents, rank #8,518) and ASK Chemicals Gmbh (37 patents, rank #8,526) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 62.4/100 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 35 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +1650% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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. ABS Global, Inc.'s 19.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark ABS Global, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
ABS's 37 grants land it in the top 2% 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.
