Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 69 granted patents across 29 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: F42B (EXPLOSIVE CHARGES, e.g. FOR BLASTING, FIREWORKS, AMMUNITION).
The verdict
AOB holds 69 US patents across 29 technology areas, rank #4,994 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
AOB Products Company has been granted 69 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing AOB Products Company at rank #4,994 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 29 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 24.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in F42B (EXPLOSIVE CHARGES, e.g. FOR BLASTING, FIREWORKS, AMMUNITION). As a US Corporation, AOB Products Company is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AOB sits between Veltek Associates, Inc. (70 patents, rank #4,990) and Bambino Prezioso Switzerland (69 patents, rank #4,998) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.5/100 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 2020 through 2025, with 69 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. AOB Products Company's 24.7 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 29 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AOB Products Company against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
AOB's 69 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
