Portfolio overview

Albany Engineered Composites, Inc. has been granted 33 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Albany Engineered Composites, Inc. at rank #9,430 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 23 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.9 claims per patent with primary concentration in B29B (PREPARATION OR PRETREATMENT OF THE MATERIAL TO BE SHAPED; MAKING GRANULES OR PREFORMS; RECOVERY OF PLASTICS OR OTHER CONSTITUENTS OF WASTE MATERIAL CONTAINING PLASTICS). As a US Corporation, Albany Engineered Composites, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Albany sits between Asahi Kasei Fibers Corporation (33 patents, rank #9,426) and Appdynamics Llc (33 patents, rank #9,434) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.6/100 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 13 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a -35% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Albany Engineered Composites, Inc.'s 16.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 23 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Albany Engineered Composites, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
