Portfolio overview

Ag Leader Technology has been granted 44 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Ag Leader Technology at rank #7,369 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 36 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in A01B (SOIL WORKING IN AGRICULTURE OR FORESTRY; PARTS, DETAILS, OR ACCESSORIES OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINES OR IMPLEMENTS, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, Ag Leader Technology is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ag sits between AVL Powertrain Engineering, Inc. (44 patents, rank #7,365) and Anvil International, Llc (44 patents, rank #7,373) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 50.4/100 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 26 grants, compared with 18 in the 2015–2019 window, a +44% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Ag Leader Technology's 17.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 36 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ag Leader Technology against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
