Portfolio overview

Ark Biotech Inc. has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2024 and 2025, placing Ark Biotech Inc. at rank #34,353 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 2 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 20.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in C12M (APPARATUS FOR ENZYMOLOGY OR MICROBIOLOGY; APPARATUS FOR CULTURING MICROORGANISMS FOR PRODUCING BIOMASS, FOR GROWING CELLS OR FOR OBTAINING FERMENTATION OR METABOLIC PRODUCTS, i.e. BIOREACTORS OR FERME). As a US Corporation, Ark Biotech Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Ark sits between Aqua Satellite, Inc. (7 patents, rank #34,349) and Artax Biopharma Inc. (7 patents, rank #34,357) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 44.4/100 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 2024 through 2025, with 7 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. Ark Biotech Inc.'s 20.3 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while specialization in 2 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Ark Biotech Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Ark's 7 grants land it in the top 26% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Ark ranks #34,353 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in C12M - see who else leads that technology area. C12M leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
