Where does ARMOR rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), ARMOR ranks #16,596 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does ARMOR hold?

ARMOR holds 17 US utility patents granted between 2018 and 2025, spanning 20 technology areas.

What is ARMOR's Innovation Score?

ARMOR has an Innovation Score of 41.6 out of 100 (top 33% of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does ARMOR focus on?

ARMOR's top technology area is Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution) with 8 patents, ranking #1,506 of 5,963 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 20 CPC subclasses total.

Is ARMOR's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

ARMOR's recent grant velocity is +600% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). This indicates accelerating grant output.

What does claim depth mean for ARMOR's patents?

ARMOR's patents average 13.7 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the ARMOR patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows Armor's Innovation Score is 41.6/100 (top 33% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Armor?

Each dot is one of Armor’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Armor’s own 13.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Armor's grants concentrate

ARMOR is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 47.1% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Armor sits between Amrona AG and Assa Abloy New Zealand Limited.

Armor's three-year grant acceleration

ARMOR shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
