Portfolio overview
Aerofoil Energy Limited has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Aerofoil Energy Limited at rank #18,386 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A47F (SPECIAL FURNITURE, FITTINGS, OR ACCESSORIES FOR SHOPS, STOREHOUSES, BARS, RESTAURANTS OR THE LIKE; PAYING COUNTERS). As a Foreign Corporation, Aerofoil Energy Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 46.0/100 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 13 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +550% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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. Aerofoil Energy Limited's 15.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 4 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Aerofoil Energy Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
