Portfolio overview

Adaptive Surface Technologies, Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2019 and 2024, placing Adaptive Surface Technologies, Inc. at rank #34,065 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 11 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09D (COATING COMPOSITIONS, e.g. PAINTS, VARNISHES OR LACQUERS; FILLING PASTES; CHEMICAL PAINT OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; CORRECTING FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; PASTES OR SOLIDS FOR COLOURING OR PRINTING; USE OF MATERI). As a US Corporation, Adaptive Surface Technologies, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Adaptive sits between Active Products Inc. (7 patents, rank #34,061) and Adolphe Merkle Institute, University OF Fribourg (7 patents, rank #34,069) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.8/100 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 6 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +500% 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. Adaptive Surface Technologies, Inc.'s 23.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 11 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Adaptive Surface Technologies, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
