Portfolio overview

American Wave Machines, Inc. has been granted 19 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing American Wave Machines, Inc. at rank #15,125 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 9 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in E04H (BUILDINGS OR LIKE STRUCTURES FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSES; SWIMMING OR SPLASH BATHS OR POOLS; MASTS; FENCING; TENTS OR CANOPIES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, American Wave Machines, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, American sits between Alterg, Inc. (19 patents, rank #15,121) and Apache Industrial Services, Inc. (19 patents, rank #15,129) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 35.4/100 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 14 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a +180% 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. American Wave Machines, Inc.'s 17.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 9 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark American Wave Machines, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
