Portfolio overview

Applied Graphene Materials UK Limited has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Applied Graphene Materials UK Limited at rank #34,167 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 13 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C01B (NON-METALLIC ELEMENTS; COMPOUNDS THEREOF; ; METALLOIDS OR COMPOUNDS THEREOF NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASS C01C). As a Foreign Corporation, Applied Graphene Materials UK Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Applied sits between Apollo Precision Kunming Yuanhong Limited (7 patents, rank #34,163) and APR Co., Ltd. (7 patents, rank #34,171) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.1/100 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 5 grants, compared with 2 in the 2015–2019 window, a +150% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign 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 Graphene Materials UK Limited's 20.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 13 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Applied Graphene Materials UK Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
