Portfolio overview

Advanced Equipment Corporation has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2016 and 2021, placing Advanced Equipment Corporation at rank #44,754 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in E05Y (INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES E05D AND E05F, RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS, ELECTRIC CONTROL, POWER SUPPLY, POWER SIGNAL OR TRANSMISSION, USER INTERFACES, MOUNTING OR COUPLING, DETAIL). As a US Corporation, Advanced Equipment Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Advanced sits between Advanced Comfort Technology, Inc. (5 patents, rank #44,750) and Advantek International Corporation (5 patents, rank #44,758) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.4/100 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 1 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% 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. Advanced Equipment Corporation's 23.8 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 5 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Advanced Equipment Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Advanced's 5 grants land it in the top 73% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Advanced ranks #44,754 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in E05Y - see who else leads that technology area. E05Y leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
