Where does ADDUP rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), ADDUP ranks #12,783 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 ADDUP hold?

ADDUP holds 23 US utility patents granted between 2018 and 2025, spanning 17 technology areas.

What is ADDUP's Innovation Score?

ADDUP has an Innovation Score of 52.0 out of 100 (top 11% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

Is ADDUP's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

ADDUP's recent grant velocity is +1900% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). This indicates accelerating grant output.

What does claim depth mean for ADDUP's patents?

ADDUP's patents average 10.8 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 ADDUP 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 Addup's Innovation Score is 52.0/100 (top 11% 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 Addup?

Each dot is one of Addup’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). Addup’s own 10.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Addup's grants concentrate

ADDUP is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 95.7% of grants classified under B33Y (Additive Manufacturing, i.e. Manufacturing OF Three-dimensional [3-D] Objects BY Additive Deposition, Additive Agglomeration OR Additive Layering, e.g. BY 3-D Printing, Stereolithography OR Selective ). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Addup sits between Ablexis, LLC and Aetrex Worldwide, Inc..

Addup's three-year grant acceleration

ADDUP shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
