Portfolio overview
Ankom Technology Corporation has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Ankom Technology Corporation at rank #44,558 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01N (INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Ankom Technology Corporation is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ankom sits between Angelcare Canada Inc. (5 patents, rank #44,554) and Ansaldo Energia S.p.a. (5 patents, rank #44,562) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 40.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +50% 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. Ankom Technology Corporation's 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ankom Technology Corporation against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
