Portfolio overview

AMES Tools Corporation has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2023 and 2025, placing AMES Tools Corporation at rank #44,529 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 22.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in B05C (APPARATUS FOR APPLYING FLUENT MATERIALS TO SURFACES, IN GENERAL). As a US Corporation, AMES Tools Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AMES sits between American Family Mutual Insurance Company, S.l. (5 patents, rank #44,525) and Amminex Emissions Technology A/s (5 patents, rank #44,533) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 41.5/100 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. Historical data spans 2023 through 2025, with 5 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. AMES Tools Corporation's 22.2 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AMES Tools Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

AMES's 5 grants land it in the top 33% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - AMES ranks #44,529 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in B05C - see who else leads that technology area. B05C leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
