Portfolio overview

Bison Designs, LLC has been granted 24 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Bison Designs, LLC at rank #12,377 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 0 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 1.0 claims per patent. As a US Corporation, Bison Designs, LLC is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 11.7/100 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 1 grants, compared with 23 in the 2015–2019 window, a -96% 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. Bison Designs, LLC's 1.0 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while specialization in 0 subclasses reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Bison Designs, LLC against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
