Portfolio overview
Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. has been granted 151 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. at rank #2,573 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 31 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; RADIATION THERAPY; ULTRASOUND THERAPY). As a US Corporation, Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 66.5/100 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 119 grants, compared with 32 in the 2015–2019 window — a +272% 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. Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc.'s 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 31 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
