What this shows ATC Technologies, Llc stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-DENSE, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #8,746 of 50,000; Innovation Score 45.6/100 sits in the top 23% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Acciona Windpower, S.a. (±0 grants).
ATC Technologies, Llc has been granted 36 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing ATC Technologies, Llc at #8,746 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 17 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H04B (TRANSMISSION). As a US Corporation, ATC Technologies, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, ATC sits between Adlink Technology Inc. (36 patents, rank #8,732) and Alibaba (china) Co., Ltd (36 patents, rank #8,740) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.6/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 24 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +118% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. ATC Technologies, Llc's 21.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 17 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
