Portfolio overview

Adhesives Research, Inc. has been granted 8 US utility patents between 2016 and 2023, placing Adhesives Research, Inc. at rank #30,855 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09J (ADHESIVES; NON-MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF ADHESIVE PROCESSES IN GENERAL; ADHESIVE PROCESSES NOT PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE; USE OF MATERIALS AS ADHESIVES). As a US Corporation, Adhesives Research, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Adhesives sits between Acuant, Inc. (8 patents, rank #30,851) and Advantech Global, Ltd (8 patents, rank #30,859) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.3/100 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 1 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -86% 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. Adhesives Research, Inc.'s 22.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Adhesives Research, Inc. 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.
