Portfolio overview
Aerco International, Inc. has been granted 16 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Aerco International, Inc. at rank #17,439 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 9.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in F24H (FLUID HEATERS, e.g. WATER OR AIR HEATERS, HAVING HEAT-GENERATING MEANS, e.g. HEAT PUMPS, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Aerco International, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 28.1/100 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 11 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +120% 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. Aerco International, Inc.'s 9.6 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Aerco International, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
