Portfolio overview

Autonomic Materials, Inc. has been granted 9 US utility patents between 2016 and 2023, placing Autonomic Materials, Inc. at rank #28,187 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 12 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 25.4 claims per patent with primary concentration in C09D (COATING COMPOSITIONS, e.g. PAINTS, VARNISHES OR LACQUERS; FILLING PASTES; CHEMICAL PAINT OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; CORRECTING FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; PASTES OR SOLIDS FOR COLOURING OR PRINTING; USE OF MATERI). As a US Corporation, Autonomic Materials, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Autonomic sits between Autograph, Inc. (9 patents, rank #28,183) and Axiado Corporation (9 patents, rank #28,191) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 38.5/100 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 6 in the 2015–2019 window, a -50% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Autonomic Materials, Inc.'s 25.4 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while concentration in 12 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Autonomic Materials, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
