Where does AKWEL rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), AKWEL ranks #25,687 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does AKWEL hold?

AKWEL holds 10 US utility patents granted between 2020 and 2023, spanning 19 technology areas.

What is AKWEL's Innovation Score?

AKWEL has an Innovation Score of 36.2 out of 100 (top 47% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

Is AKWEL's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

Insufficient historical data is available to calculate a velocity trend for AKWEL.

What does claim depth mean for AKWEL's patents?

AKWEL's patents average 13.5 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the AKWEL patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Akwel's Innovation Score is 36.2/100 (top 47% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Akwel?

Each dot is one of Akwel’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Akwel’s own 13.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Akwel's grants concentrate

AKWEL is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under F01N (Gas-flow Silencers OR Exhaust Apparatus FOR Machines OR Engines IN GENERAL; Gas-flow Silencers OR Exhaust Apparatus FOR Internal-combustion Engines). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Akwel sits between AIR International (US) Inc. and Alfdex AB.

Akwel's three-year grant acceleration

AKWEL shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
