Portfolio overview

Applejack 199 L.p. has been granted 28 US utility patents between 2016 and 2021, placing Applejack 199 L.p. at #10,853 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 26 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.8 claims per patent with primary concentration in G01B (MEASURING LENGTH, THICKNESS OR SIMILAR LINEAR DIMENSIONS; MEASURING ANGLES; MEASURING AREAS; MEASURING IRREGULARITIES OF SURFACES OR CONTOURS). As a US Corporation, Applejack 199 L.p. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Applejack sits between Allbirds, Inc. (28 patents, rank #10,840) and Aziende Chimiche Riunite Angelini Francesco—a.c.r.a.f. S.p.a. (28 patents, rank #10,848) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 39.7/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 16 grants, compared with 12 in the 2015–2019 window, a +33% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.

Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Applejack 199 L.p.'s 16.8 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 26 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
