USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 10 granted patents across 6 technology areas, active 2015–2022. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: A61Q (SPECIFIC USE OF COSMETICS OR SIMILAR TOILETRY PREPARATIONS).
The verdict
AQUA holds 10 US patents across 6 technology areas, rank #25,699 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
AQUA BIO Technology ASA has been granted 10 US utility patents between 2015 and 2022, placing AQUA BIO Technology ASA at rank #25,699 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 6 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in A61Q (SPECIFIC USE OF COSMETICS OR SIMILAR TOILETRY PREPARATIONS). As a Foreign Corporation, AQUA BIO Technology ASA is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, AQUA sits between APHP (assistance Publique Hôpitaux DE Paris) (10 patents, rank #25,695) and Aratana Therapeutics, Inc. (10 patents, rank #25,703) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 28.4/100 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 3 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a -57% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. AQUA BIO Technology ASA's 16.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 6 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark AQUA BIO Technology ASA against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
AQUA's 10 grants land it in the top 73% 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.
