Portfolio overview

Apeel Technology, Inc. has been granted 39 US utility patents between 2017 and 2025, placing Apeel Technology, Inc. at rank #8,162 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 33 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23B (PRESERVATION OF FOODS, FOODSTUFFS OR NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES; CHEMICAL RIPENING OF FRUIT OR VEGETABLES). As a US Corporation, Apeel Technology, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Apeel sits between AYR Ltd. (39 patents, rank #8,158) and Axogen Corporation (39 patents, rank #8,166) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 54.8/100 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 31 grants, compared with 8 in the 2015–2019 window, a +288% 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. Apeel Technology, Inc.'s 23.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 33 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Apeel Technology, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
