USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 172 granted patents across 17 technology areas, active 2015–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: G07F (COIN-FREED OR LIKE APPARATUS).
The verdict
AGS holds 172 US patents across 17 technology areas, rank #2,273 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
AGS Llc has been granted 172 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing AGS Llc at rank #2,273 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G07F (COIN-FREED OR LIKE APPARATUS). As a US Corporation, AGS Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AGS sits between Ossia Inc. (173 patents, rank #2,269) and Invista North America S.a.r.l. (172 patents, rank #2,277) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 42.5/100 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 104 grants, compared with 68 in the 2015–2019 window, a +53% 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. AGS Llc's 12.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AGS Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
AGS's 172 grants land it in the top 30% 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.
