As a US Corporation, Air Distribution Technologies IP, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Air sits between SAP Portals Israel Ltd (100 patents, rank #3,667) and Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. (99 patents, rank #3,675) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 56.8/100 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 83 grants, compared with 16 in the 2015–2019 window, a +419% 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. Air Distribution Technologies IP, Llc's 18.4 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 35 subclasses balances depth with breadth.

How to use this portfolio
Air's 99 grants land it in the top 6% 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.
