Portfolio overview
American Biocarbon, Llc has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2016 and 2020, placing American Biocarbon, Llc at rank #44,523 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 3 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 25.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in C13B (PRODUCTION OF SUCROSE; APPARATUS SPECIALLY ADAPTED THEREFOR). As a US Corporation, American Biocarbon, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, American sits between Amcor Flexibles Singen Gmbh (5 patents, rank #44,519) and Amerihua International Enterprises Inc. (5 patents, rank #44,527) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 27.3/100 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 1 grants, compared with 4 in the 2015–2019 window, a -75% 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. American Biocarbon, Llc's 25.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 3 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark American Biocarbon, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
