Portfolio overview

Applied Biosystems, Llc has been granted 156 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Applied Biosystems, Llc at rank #2,498 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 48 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12Q (MEASURING OR TESTING PROCESSES INVOLVING ENZYMES, NUCLEIC ACIDS OR MICROORGANISMS ; COMPOSITIONS OR TEST PAPERS THEREFOR; PROCESSES OF PREPARING SUCH COMPOSITIONS; CONDITION-RESPONSIVE CONTROL IN MICR). As a US Corporation, Applied Biosystems, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Applied sits between Whatsapp Llc (157 patents, rank #2,494) and Khalifa University Of Science And Technology (156 patents, rank #2,502) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.9/100 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 27 grants, compared with 129 in the 2015–2019 window, a -79% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Applied Biosystems, Llc's 16.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 48 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Applied Biosystems, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
