What this shows Applied Invention, Llc stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-DENSE, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-DOWN, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #7,111 of 50,000; Innovation Score 51.6/100 sits in the top 11% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is ACE Technologies Corporation (±0 grants).
Applied Invention, Llc has been granted 46 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Applied Invention, Llc at #7,111 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 38 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 23.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Applied Invention, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Applied sits between ACE Technologies Corporation (46 patents, rank #7,106) and Anton Paar Gmbh (46 patents, rank #7,114) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.6/100 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 19 grants, compared with 25 in the 2015–2019 window, a -24% 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. Applied Invention, Llc's 23.0 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 38 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
