Across all tracked assignees
USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 5 granted patents across 17 technology areas, active 2019–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES).
The verdict
Applied holds 5 US patents across 17 technology areas, rank #44,584 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Applied Research Center has been granted 5 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Applied Research Center at rank #44,584 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61K (PREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL OR TOILETRY PURPOSES). As a US Corporation, Applied Research Center is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Applied sits between Apitope Technology (bristol) Limited (5 patents, rank #44,580) and APSE, Inc. (5 patents, rank #44,588) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.0/100 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 4 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +300% 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. Applied Research Center's 10.4 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 17 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Applied Research Center against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Applied's 5 grants land it in the top 19% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
