Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 9 granted patents across 4 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS).
The verdict
AFT holds 9 US patents across 4 technology areas, rank #27,987 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited at rank #27,987 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 4 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61P (SPECIFIC THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS OR MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AFT sits between Aegis Sortation, Llc (9 patents, rank #27,983) and AGI Engineering, Inc. (9 patents, rank #27,991) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.7/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 9 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited's 16.7 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 AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
AFT's 9 grants land it in the top 32% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
