Portfolio overview

Archer Aviation Inc. has been granted 85 US utility patents between 2022 and 2025, placing Archer Aviation Inc. at rank #4,178 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 32 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 26.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in B64D (EQUIPMENT FOR FITTING IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; FLIGHT SUITS; PARACHUTES; ARRANGEMENT OR MOUNTING OF POWER PLANTS OR PROPULSION TRANSMISSIONS IN AIRCRAFT). As a US Corporation, Archer Aviation Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Archer sits between United Therapeutics Corporation (86 patents, rank #4,174) and Beijing Jingdong Qianshi Technology Co., Ltd. (85 patents, rank #4,182) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 70.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2022 through 2025, with 85 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. Archer Aviation Inc.'s 26.6 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 32 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Archer Aviation Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

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.
