Blink Forward, Llc has been granted 7 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Blink Forward, Llc at rank #34,562 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 1 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING). As a US Corporation, Blink Forward, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Blink sits between Blackshark.ai Gmbh (7 patents, rank #34,558) and Blue Giant Equipment Corporation (7 patents, rank #34,566) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 26.0/100 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 2 grants, compared with 5 in the 2015–2019 window, a -60% 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. Blink Forward, Llc's 14.3 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while specialization in 1 subclass reflects a tightly scoped invention area. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Blink Forward, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Blink's 7 grants land it in the top 81% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
